A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 611110-03 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

• The Montessori method of education was developed by Dr. Maria Montessori in the early 1900s in Italy. She believed that children learn best through hands-on experiences and that they should be allowed to learn at their own pace. The first Montessori school was opened in Rome in 1907, and the method quickly gained popularity throughout Europe. In the United States, the first Montessori school was opened in 1911 in Tarrytown, New York. The Montessori method has continued to evolve over the years, with new research and advancements in education technology. Today, Montessori schools can be found all over the world, and the method is used to educate children from infancy through high school. Recent history of the Montessori Schools industry in the United States has been marked by a growing interest in alternative education methods. In the 1960s and 1970s, Montessori schools gained popularity as part of the counterculture movement. In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in the Montessori method, with more parents seeking out alternative education options for their children. Montessori schools have also been embraced by some public school systems as a way to provide more individualized instruction to students. Today, there are over 5,000 Montessori schools in the United States, serving children from infancy through high school.
