Since 2010 Valentina Nosenko and I have been working together—in Russia, the USA, and other countries—to create and support a wonderful school in Russia, Montessori School of Moscow. This year Valentina translated Montessori for Family and Community and signed a contract with Michael Olaf Montessori Publishers to make the PDF of the book available free worldwide. Please share this blog post with anyone who can access it and benefit from it. CLICK: FREE MFC in RUSSIAN
