Abstract/Notes: This chapter provides an overview of Montessori education in Latin America, organized around three “waves” of interest in the method of Montessori in the region, seemingly linked to economic and political factors. These are: (1) the early emergence of Montessori across Latin America led by government policy makers and social reformers from the 1910s through the 1930s; (2) a second wave of Montessori from the 1950s to the 1970s, often introduced by foreign volunteers; and (3) the contemporary context of Montessori (from the 1980s onward), largely connected to private preschools, localized community undertakings, or charity and religious schools, particularly in rural areas. Alongside these thematic profiles, the chapter briefly highlights the development of Montessori in a few national contexts: Chile, Colombia, Peru, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Panama.

Abstract/Notes: This chapter recounts the 100-year history of the Montessori movement in the United States and the role of Montessori within the contemporary American education landscape. We explore the origins of Montessori education in the US in the early 1900s, the mid-century revival of Montessori in private schools, and the growth of Montessori programs in public schools in conjunction with the school desegregation and charter school movements. We also situate Montessori education within a national context, including teacher education, education research, and questions of diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice. We conclude with considerations for the future of the Montessori movement in the United States.
