What a great article. I researched teaching methods when I was younger and Montessori method is one of the best. Children learn well with this structure of school, and I am planning on implementing some of the techniques with my kids’ learning. A really useful topic.

@Jenn: Like you, I’d heard of it and never knew exactly what it was. That’s why I asked one of our writers to research it and put together this article. I learned a lot, especially since my duaghter is in a multi-age class at school this year, and I had no idea that the concept came from Montessori!

Thanks for the info. One just opened in our area and I just asked my DH the other day what it was since I had heard the name before and wasn’t sure…

Great article. We homeschooled when my kids were young, but I bought a couple of books about the method with ideas we could implement at home. I love the work stations concept and still try to use it with my grandkids

One of my best friends is a teacher at a Montessori School. She had to go back and get the extra training and certification to teach there. She really loves it!

My son went to a Montessori preschool for two years and it was the BEST experience for him. He started kindergarten with such a solid foundation and even went to 2nd grade for math! Also, besides the great educational start, I was also very impressed with the social skills and independence that is taught. I would highly recommend Montessori school to anyone looking to give there kids a great start on the educational path!
