Many parents are taken by surprise when they hear that Montessori’s practical life activities (the scrubbing, polishing and sweeping, the ‘thank you’s and your welcomes,’ etc., that look like “mere housekeeping” and “good manners”) are the essential foundation for everything that comes after – including reading, writing and math. Experience the genius of Maria Montessori as you learn how these seemingly simple activities provide a reassuring bridge between home and school; build concentration, independence and self-confidence; strengthen fine and gross motor skills; and teach important lessons about the care of self, others and the environment that keep Montessori classrooms functioning smoothly and peacefully. Learn how to bring such activities easily into the home environment.
