March is Women’s History Month. Today we honor: Maria Montessori. Maria Montessori was the first woman physician in Italy, however she is well known for her interest in child and education. This interest lead her to open a children’s school in 1907. She created an environment for self-education and helped children have a “Natural tendency towards elevation”, helping them become successful through hard work and determination. Montessori’s new method now exists all over the world, helping the education the next generations to come.
