In the early 20th Century, Maria Montessori transformed our appreciation of the importance of early childhood to every individual and to society. Her followers are astounded by the ongoing relevance of her insights to contemporary issues — freedom, justice, peace, nature, identity, progress, independence, faith and love — all thoughtfully explored by Montessori experts and guests in this series of podcasts. The hosts are Barbara Isaacs, leading Montessori authority and President of Montessori Europe, and David Gettman, founder of My Montessori Child software, which sponsors this podcast.
