What is Montessori?

The Montessori method was developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician and educator, who believed children learn best through hands-on exploration, independence, movement, and respect for each child’s natural development.

At Nested Montessori Childcare, we are inspired by this approach in a warm home-based setting. Children are encouraged to build confidence, practice independence, care for themselves and their environment, and learn through meaningful daily activities.
