Montessori, Maria, 1870–1952, Italian educator and physician. She was the originator of the
Montessori method of educating small children and the first woman to receive (1894) a medical degree
in Italy. At the Orthophrenic School in Rome she worked as a psychiatrist with retarded children, using
an environment rich in manipulative materials. In 1907 she started her first day-care center, utilizing the
same methods with normal preschoolers on the theory that a child will learn naturally if placed in an
environment consisting of “learning games” suited to the child's abilities and interests. Relying on self-
motivation and auto-education, the teacher intervenes only when a child needs help. Montessori also
developed child-sized furniture. Her writings include The Montessori Method (1912) and The Secret of
Childhood (1936).2
