Is Montessori just for gifted children?
No, not at all, nor is it accelerated learning. Montessori herself said “we cannot create a genius- we can only give each child the chance to develop his potential.” The Montessori Method seeks to help each child develop his or her natural abilities. It has been used successfully with all kinds of children, including special needs, gifted, rich, poor, in urban and rural areas and on every continent.
