The Power of an Early Start
Marin Mommies presents a sponsored article from Marin Montessori School.
There’s nothing quite like the excitement of parenting young children. The small joys at breakfast and bedtime, when you’re truly present, become some of the most gratifying moments in your life. Alongside these joys come worries, some familiar from our own childhoods and others brand new.
Today’s parents are navigating an era filled with possibility and disruption. The world our children will inherit will be markedly different from the one we grew up in. The shifting landscape can be exhilarating one moment and overwhelming the next.

Proven Benefits of Montessori Education
How best to advantage young children with the tools they’ll need to both navigate and shape this new world?
It turns out that the Montessori approach is a century-old solution to today’s challenges.
Research confirms that, compared to their peers in other environments, children learning in authentic Montessori schools develop:
- Stronger capacities for sustained focus and concentration
- Greater creativity
- More advanced cognitive development
- More robust internal motivation to learn
- Deeper wells of empathy
- Stronger executive functioning and resilience
- And, in the future, greater adult well-being.
At Marin Montessori, We Know…
Dr. Maria Montessori, a pioneering female physician in Italy, solved problems through keen observation. She discovered that:
- Each child is unique, driven by innate capabilities and curiosities.
- Children naturally seek to understand the world and are motivated by a desire for purpose and independence.
- They thrive in an environment carefully curated to engage, inspire, and empower.
Montessori education guides children according to their natural development, preparing them with skills for our rapidly changing world.
