The Montessori Foundation

Maria Montessori (1870 – 1952) was born 100 years ahead of her time. Her work helps to redefine our understanding of childhood, children’s rights, ideal learning, and brain development. This is her condensed life story as we know it from personal experience, research, and oral history.

Staff professional development can be expensive. We offer the convenience of online professional development.

Our free weekly webinars for administrators, teachers, and families began during the pandemic and continue to attract a growing wide and diverse following.
