100 Years of Montessori is about Dr. Maria Montessori's child-centered approach, first introduced in Rome in 1907, transformed education by encouraging children to learn independently through hands-on activities and has since expanded to thousands of schools worldwide. Once associated mainly with affluent families, Montessori education has gained traction in public schools and diverse communities, with research suggesting it can effectively support children's academic and developmental growth. Despite challenges such as the lack of regulation over the Montessori name, the method remains highly influential and continues to shape modern educational practices.
