The present study aims to delineate Montessori education relying on the review of current literature. Given the background of early childhood education, this method dates back to the early 19th century, and the most influential educator in this method is undoubtedly Maria Montessori. She is an educator having devoted her life to improving the education system for children and is the first female medical doctor in Italy. The years characterized by wars and poverty led her to engage in observation of the education of mentally retarded children and, thus, laid the foundations of an influential education model across the world. She opened her very first school, the Casa Dei Bambini (Children’s Home), in Rome in 1907. Today, her education model can be considered among the ones preferred the most and is adopted within both private and public schools in our country.
