Teaching Montessori in the Home: Pre-School Years: The Pre-School Years by Elizabeth G. Hainstock - Paperback

Great resource

Is exactly what I needed

It's a great book. loved it. The paper quality is not good, but the material is very usefull.

A great book to have on hand if you have preschool age children. In the appendix, there are directions for making your own Montessori style equipment as well as numbers and letters manipulatives. Very thoughtfully written and a very useful guide to seeing household play time activities as a part of the early preschooler's education whether its measuring and baking for math skills, nature walks, or imaginative play. Highly recommended.

I am fortunate enough to be able to be a stay at home with my children because I want my kids to stay at home as long as possible (while they are young) so they can fully appreciate the family dynamic. Because I stay at home, my family and I are living off a single income and cannot afford to put our children in the Montessori program. I am still interested in the Montessori philosophy, and wanted to try to incorporate it here at home. I checked this book out from the library just to see how applicable it would be, and I found that this is a great, not complicated introduction to the Montessori method. The activities are great and realistic for little ones to explore and learn, and will be useful to them in the long run. They also don't require alot of "shopping" so it can be very affordable as well. I'm very excited to help my children learn with this book. I'm going out to buy this book right away!
