Helpful Resources and Guides for Montessori Parents
There are a ton of great resources for Montessori parents. However, it takes time and patience to sift through the internet to find them. We have compiled a list of articles, books and videos with great content about Montessori and how it relates to children's development. We invite you to read it, then discuss it with your partner, talk about it with fellow parents at drop-off or pick-up and of course talk about it with staff members at school. We are all here for one common reason: children. We hope to open up the dialogue and educate ourselves on how we can have the most positive impact on children. The more we know, the more we can work toward that end.
