Synopsis:

More than 80 years ago, Maria Montessori recognized the importance of a child's earliest experiences in paving the way for educational and personal fulfillment. Ahead of her contemporaries she created a whole educational system for the pre-school years. In this book, the author brings the Montessori method into the home. The book includes simple projects that fit into the normal daily routine of toddlers and young children. Starting with the home and gradually moving out into the local environment, each project shows how simple games and activities can provide the building blocks for language development, mathematics, science and arts and crafts, while stimulating the child's natural sense of curiosity and sense of fun.

From the Inside Flap: We all want the best possible starts in life for our children, and one of the best possible starts in life, educationally, is the "method" pioneered by Maria Montessori and taught successfully today throughout the world.

Now, Lesley Britton, the leading Montessori practitioner in England for more than twenty years, will show parents how to bring Montessori home. If you would like to facilitate the development of your child's unique personality, make it possible for him to develop to his full intellectual capacity, and help him become socially and emotionally well adjusted, then this is the book for you.

Montessori Play and Learn is packed with ideas, activities, and games that can fit into your normal routine and help supplement preschool learning for your child. For planning your home, introducing your child to the supermarket or the neighborhood, and helping him discover other people and cultures, this book provides valuable tips and insights that help parents and children grow and learn together.
