Abstract/Notes: Grazia Honegger Fresco was one of Maria Montessori’s pupils, and she built on her teacher’s theories on the development and care of the infant and toddler child. She completed lengthy studies demonstrating how deeply Montessori investigated newborn children from the beginning of her research on human infancy. Montessori and Honegger Fresco introduced groundbreaking ideas, including: the fundamental role of the caregiver–child relationship, the importance of a young child’s environment responding to their particular sensitive periods of development, and the vision of a competent and active child even in the birth to 3 age group. The chapter provides an understanding of how the adult can prepare for the life of a young infant.

Abstract/Notes: The chapter presents background on Maria Montessori’s pedagogy for preschool-aged children (3-6) and clarifies how the pedagogy in the Casa dei Bambini, or the Children’s House, is to be implemented. Descriptions of the preschool classroom are provided, including how the environment is organized, the function of different materials (such as Practical Life and Sensorial), the role of the teacher, and how the exercises are to be carried out. The concepts of sensitive periods and the absorbent mind are also introduced as foundational concepts of Montessori education.
