This volume is Dr. Maria Montessori's study of education, with explanations of her philosophy of teaching and experimental scientific approach.

Dr. Maria Montessori's alternative method to early-years education is based on the natural development of children and encourages hands-on learning with access to the natural world. She shares her views on children's imagination, intelligence, and behaviour while recommending the ideal learning environment and teaching exercises for the Montessori method.
