Maria Montessori is one of the most popular names in the history of preschool education. She is one of the most important people of modern education whose heritage is changing the world. Her role model was a child, and she dedicated her life to advocating the rights of the children and proving their extraordinary intellectual abilities. Montessori pedagogy is a model of education of children and young people which is a result of long-term observation and practice and does not only imply the optimum progress of the child, but it is also the response to the individual's place in society. For Maria Montessori there is nothing above the child and everything is subordinate to the child. Maria Montessori felt that educators played a significant role in encouraging the development of the child. Their job is to allow a child to build his personality himself, find his personal rhythm, make his own decisions and become independent. The Montessori educator knows the needs of children and strives to respond to them appropriately as well as teach them that not everything in life goes smoothly and that mistakes can be corrected.
