Here are some resources you may wish to use as you continue your Montessori journey. I am always more than happy to visith with you about the philosophy and how you can incorporate it into your home routines.

Tomorrow's Child magazine, a publication of the Montessori Foundation, is a quarterly magazine published with parents and families in mind.
There are a number of blogs and Facebook groups you can join if you are interested in learning more about Montessori or if you want to connect with other Montessori parents. Just ask me and I'd be happy to share.
