In 1907, founded by the Roman Association for Good Building, Dr. Maria Montessori established
the first Casa dei Bambini, or Children’s House, in Rome, Italy. It has been ninety-eight years since the Montessori curriculum theory was defined by the school, and from that time the Montessori approach to education has become globalized. In Taiwan there are many kindergartens and nursery schools using
the Montessori curriculum.
The purpose of this study is to explore the Montessori teachers’ attitude toward the Montessori curriculum. According to 80 completed surveys, the findings indicate there was a disapproval rate of 2% on implementing the Montessori approach, a disapproval rate of 25% on guiding young children to learn through the Montessori curriculum, and a 23% disapproval rate on the localization of the curriculum. Consequently, it is going to take some time to develop a localized Montessori curriculum
in Taiwan.
