JUST WHAT IS MONTESSORI?
Highly acclaimed first introductions to the Montessori philosophy and practice
of raising and educating children from birth on — for parents and educators
After reading these books I better understand and can finally explain Montessori to friends and family —A Montessori Parent
Michael Olaf Montessori Newsletter #18, February 2015
Teachers and administrators at all levels will see preschool, elementary, and adolescent students with new eyes when they understand the potential of children in the first 3 years of life.
—David Kahn, NAMTA (North. American Montessori Teachers Association)
My friends who do not go to a Montessori school are always asking me what the difference between their school and mine is. After reading this book I think I can tell them.
—12-Year-Old American Montessori Student
Nothing gave me such a complete and interesting overview of the potential of Montessori than this book. I have ordered one for every family in our school.
—Montessori School Administrator
This book explains the meaning of life, how you are supposed to live it. It would be helpful to other people my age. If the young person does not want to read the chapter "The Young Adult, Age 12-18" the parents should read it so they can help their son or daughter become a better person.
—Ryan Alcock, Age 13, The Montessori Lyceum, Amsterdam
—Angeline Lillard, PhD, Professor of Psychology, U. of Virginia, author of Montessori, The Science behind the Genius
