The Discovery of the Child

Maria Montessori went beyond the conventions of the day to seek a new way of knowing and loving a child. In The Discovery of the Child, she describes the nature of the child and her method of working more fully with the child's urge to learn. Maria Montessori was an Italian physician and educationist. Born in Rome, she was the first woman in Italy to receive a medical degree. She founded a school for children with learning disabilities and developed a system of education for children of three to six based on spontaneity of expression and freedom from restraint.
