This is the first edition of a regular magazine especially for Montessori parents. Our aim is to provide interesting, thought-provoking and relevant articles about Montessori education and philosophy.
This edition has an emphasis on Montessori as an educational offering for children from birth to adulthood – Montessori: Education for Life. In recent years we have seen the expansion of Montessori programmes for 0-3 and now more recently for adolescents. We look forward to the day when many Montessori schools offer programmes for children from 0 to 18 years of age. The Montessori approach however is not limited to the school environment. Amy Kirkham’s article gives some practical guidelines for parents wishing to utilise Montessori principles and practices at home with their young children. Dr Annette Haines article on a Science of Peace will give readers a sense of the contribution Dr Montessori made to peace and how children, particularly Montessori children, can provide hope for mankind.
We hope you become regular and interested readers of Montessori Insights and look forward to receiving your comments.
