MDM offers an excellent introduction to the Montessori approach in educating children. The Montessori methodology, an internationally acclaimed curriculum which spans more than a century, was scientifically devised and tested by Maria Montessori – first Italian lady physician, educator, psychologist, humanitarian, and Nobel Prize nominee. The system satisfies your child’s needs during his most “sensitive periods”, critical periods when your child’s mind is at its most absorbent stage. Thus, fully equipped, the child’s transition to the next planes of development is smooth and unhampered.
