This is where you’ll find my opinions for a start and, soon, those of other Montessori educators as well. We live in a wonderful time where dozens of companies offer the original didactic apparatus learning materials designed by Maria Montessori herself. We also have free Internet resources and probably hundreds of sources of other materials, or what you need to create materials, to supplement that original set. We need to be sharing our experiences of which products and files in this rich array have served us best. Looking for math manipulatives that help a child learn an essential concept just by using them? Want to bring a little Montessori learning approach to your classroom or home on a limited budget and don't know what to use? This section will help you find what you need.

It still surprises me how many people who are avid about the Montessori approach have yet to read a book she wrote. Some can be daunting but we’ll offer some work arounds on that here too. Finally, this will be a place for me to send you to what I consider the best of the best web addresses to enhance your knowledge and application of the Montessori philosophy. (Feel free to send me emails suggesting your favorites in any of these categories.)
