Dr. Montessori's Own Handbook

The famous method, explained by the woman who invented it. In this compact guide, Maria Montessori walks through her materials and principles in her own words: the prepared environment, the sensitive periods, the child's deep hunger to do things for themselves. You will discover why her classrooms hummed with calm concentration and how the same respect for a child's independence can shape any home. A century old and still quietly revolutionary. Sample the opening and hear the method from its source.
