Maria herself

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Montessori

This will give you a Wikipedia version of Dr. Montessori. It is flagged for quality control so I suppose someone read it and found fault. Still, at least it'll give you an idea.

Plus, it will help to know about her because, as my instructor today said, "Remember, She is watching." (I found that a little creepy, but I went with it. I guess that could be a good personal check...)

"If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men." -Maria Montessori (more quotes where that came from, no need to worry!)
