Greensboro Montessori School hosts Dr. Steven Hughes

Maria Montessori was a scientist. She was a physician, educator, feminist, barrier-breaker, and innovator who utilized scientific observation and experience working with young children to design learning materials and a classroom environment which foster a child’s natural desire to learn. Dr. Montessori opened her first school in 1907, and today there are close to 4,000 certified Montessori schools in the United States and about 7,000 worldwide. Even though the field of modern neuroscience and brain research did not exist during Dr. Montessori's time, her theories and methodologies have withstood the test of time, and today neuroscience and brain research fully support the Montessori methodology.
