Casa dei Bambini (Bambini's House)

Casa dei Bambini, or "Children's House," is an educational approach developed by Dr. Maria Montessori in 1907. It focuses on creating a nurturing and stimulating environment for young children, typically ages 2 to 6, where they can learn through self-directed activities and hands-on experiences. The setting encourages independence, critical thinking, and social skills, allowing children to explore their interests at their own pace. Trained educators guide rather than direct learning, fostering a sense of responsibility and a love for learning. This method emphasizes respect for the child and promotes holistic development, considering emotional, social, and cognitive growth.
