Excerpt from a review in Vietnam:
The last chapter, Stages of Development, the author explains how a Montessori education is completely different for birth-3, 3-6, 6-12, and 12-18. Rather then beginning with a desired standard academic curriculum, the learning is based on the needs and tendencies of human beings at different ages and planes, or stages, of development. As a result education becomes a joy. There are practical examples for parents and teachers.
And from an AMI Montessori Teacher Trainer:
It was Mr. Montessori’s dream that his mother’s, Dr. Maria Montessori’s, educational approach could be realized without being bound to a set of materials. He would be very pleased with this book. The author is fulfilling her dream in showing how all children can receive the Aid to Life that they need to develop their potential. This is a very readable book, full of real life situations. The table of contents intriguing for finding just the answer one is looking for. This book will give confidence to parents who want Montessori for their child beyond the classroom.
—Rita Zener, PhD, AMI Montessori Teacher Trainer
