At Home with Montessori

Bridge the gap between the classroom and the household with At Home with Montessori, a foundational handbook written by Montessori expert Patricia Oriti, meticulously edited by David Kahn, and featuring illustrative blueprints by Julia Sheehan-Burke. This highly scannable pocket guide outlines practical strategies for parents to adapt Dr. Maria Montessori's principles within the domestic sphere. The text focuses on establishing a "prepared environment" at home—rearranging physical spaces to promote toddler independence, freedom of choice, order, and coordination.
