Rodrigo Solano‑Quesnel is the Intern Minister at the First Unitarian Congregation of Toronto. He has a Master of Divinity from the Montreal School of Theology and a Bachelor of Public Affairs and Policy Management from Carleton University in Ottawa. He has served in worship and governance at the Montreal and Ottawa congregations. This is the season of anticipation as we prepare for the winter holidays, holidays which mix delight with dread.

Dr. Maria Montessori said, "Children are human beings to whom respect is due, superior to us by reason of their innocence and of the greater possibilities of their future." She was a remarkable woman who made huge contributions to early childhood education. "The Montessori Method" is in use in all parts of the world, and is especially well suited to enhancing growth and development of infants, toddlers and young children. We will discuss the life of Maria Montessori and her theories of learning and methods of teaching.
