Teaching Montessori in the Home: The Preschool Years

I just finished reading the book,"Teaching Montessori in the Home: The Preschool Years," by Elizabeth Hainstock, that I was given for Christmas. It has lots of good insight and ideas for a mom new to the ideas of Montessori. A rather short book at 115 pages but, it had some nice quotes to roll around in your brain. Here is one of my favorites!

"Too often the precious formative years from birth to six of age are wasted by parents and teachers who feel that the child is too young to learn. In many cases it is actually they who are too lazy to teach. Observe the mountains of information that your three-year-old absorbs from watching television. Can you then truly tell yourself that a child of this age is not ready for learning experiences? " pg 11 "Teaching Montessori in the Home: The Preschool Years," by Elizabeth Hainstock.


Now to find something a bit more detailed to read! Any suggestions?

Teaching Montessori in the Home

Lately, I have really felt a drive to work in more Montessori style activities into our Tot School routine. I feel like I have been really lacking in this department.

I was lucky that for Christmas, I was given the book, "Teaching Montessori in the Home" by Elizabeth Hainstock. Have any of you read this? Any opinions on it? I would love to hear what you think! I can't wait to put it to good use!
