Montessori education is the most well developed, time-tested method for empowering learners to be self-motivated and self-directed. This approach is in harmony with the principles most recommended by current education experts. It is respectful of learners. It offers opportunities for them to construct new knowledge from their experiences. It develops responsibility and autonomy.

Welcome to Montessori for Everybody. This site will be a place to offer information in many forms to parents, educators, and anyone else who is using Maria Montessori’s ideas about education – or would like to do so. Please check back frequently because we'll be adding more content often.

If you are not familiar with Montessori training, check out the Where Do I Start? pages. If you already have experience with this approach to learning, please wander around the site and let me know your thoughts on the blog when you get a chance. We would particularly like to help parents interested in unschooling who would like to consider the Montessori curriculum as part of that approach. As you let me know what you like, want, and need, I will do my best to bring in more resources in response to your feedback.

In order to create a Montessori education, empower learners, and unleash their creativity, you must learn a new way to support learners. Our home study courses are designed to help you do that in a flexible, easy to manage way. If you want to provide a Montessori education for your own children, or for a classroom of children, we provide the materials and guidance you need to do that. We respect your ability to manage your learning and your commitment to take responsibility for preparing to educate in a whole new way.

Reference Books and Phonetic Readers

Up to date reference books are essential for Montessori mentors to answer questions and keep materials current. The Smithsonian books at Costco are wonderful, economic reference books on animals and many other science topics. They have Bob Books phonetic reader sets for under $10. We recommend Set 1 and Set 2 for parents to use at home with new readers. Modern Curriculum Press Phonics Practice Readers at school and Bob Books at home synergize beautifully.
