Casa dei Bambini (Montessori School)

Casa dei Bambini, established by Dr. Maria Montessori in 1907, is the term for Montessori schools focused on early childhood education. The name translates to "Children's House" in Italian. These schools emphasize self-directed learning, allowing children aged 3 to 6 to explore their interests in a prepared environment filled with specialized, hands-on educational materials. Teachers act as guides, fostering independence and critical thinking. The approach encourages respect, collaboration, and a love for learning, aiming to develop each child's unique potential at their own pace while nurturing social and emotional growth.
