 The name "Casa dei Bambini", or Children's House, was suggested to Montessori, and the first "Casa" opened on January 6, 1907, enrolling 50 or 60 children between the ages of two or three and six or seven.At first the classroom was equipped with a teacher's table and blackboard, a stove, small chairs, armchairs, and group tables for the children, and a locked cabinet for the materials that Montessori had developed at the Orthophrenic School.Activities for the children included personal care such as dressing and undressing, care of the environment such as dusting and sweeping and caring for the garden.
