Creative Development in the Child

Maria Montessori lectured in Italian during the first International Montessori Course in 1939 at Madras, India. The 75 lectures are left in the same order as they were given, swinging between psychology and the use of the materials. India’s diversity of language, social custom and religious practice enriched her research. During this time, Dr. Montessori worked with children in Madras and put into practice her theories of adapting the environment, furniture and the Practical Life materials to local conditions.
