With this practical guide pointing the way, parents can learn how to use the world-famous Montessori Method to develop their child’s confidence, autonomy, and full creative potential.
Educating a child is challenging and complex. What are the best methods and most appropriate materials for promoting a young person’s development?

This practical guide makes Montessori’s methods accessible to anyone, providing concrete examples, suggestions, and strategies to use at home as part of a daily routine. It gives parents the resources to recognize windows of opportunity for learning and foster good behavior during shared play, choose recreational activities, and prepare an environment that suits their children's needs.

Learning numbers creativity through drawing, cutting, and pasting
