Features: This manual was written in response to the requests of countless parents and teachers who were interested in Dr. Montessori's methods during her time teaching the Montessori method in the United States. It teaches the tools and techniques used in the "Children's House" and how to provide children with an environment for "self-education." Since Dr. Montessori founded the first "Children's House," the materials used in all Montessori classrooms have remained highly uniform. In this book, Dr. Montessori teaches how to teach preschool children to use these materials to stimulate the development of their observation, recognition, and judgment skills. Dr. Montessori emphasizes that the approach to each child is different, and the role of the adult should be to guide the child to experiment on their own, allowing them to recognize their own mistakes and take the necessary risks in their learning.
