Another interesting aspect in M. Montessori method is the way in which she perceives the necessity to children about experiment the education from their young age. Not only because in that period, education was especially to adult people, but also gives the opportunity to guess the capacity to children. Opposite of this, many people though that during the childhood, those had to discover the nature, play, and use the imagination, not to be involve in an intellectual world, but the results was positive, and the innovation of a new method made that people change their mind with the time.
