                Montessori philosophy is a philosophy which believes that children are born with special mental powers and if their only aim is to create the person they want to become. Thus Montessori Philosophy is an educational technique to help moulding the minds of little kids.

                This philosophy believes that children need sufficient room to grow and discover themselves and their surroundings intellectually and philosophy. They believe that the child is dynamic and focused therefore one must provide them with situation to learn from rather then teach them.

                This philosophy aims at studying the transformation of child to man. Dr. Maria Montessori came to realize the child's inner power during her research in the insane asylum. And henceforth began with the working to formulate education technique to help a child discover himself and learn about the world without any monotony, force or pressure.
