Infant & Toddler
Training manuals for teachers and caregivers of children from birth to age three, covering the environment, practical life, sensorial, and language, along with Montessori pedagogy, health, and safety.
Early Childhood
Step-by-step presentations for each area of the 3–6 classroom: Practical Life, Sensorial, Mathematics, Language Arts, Geography and History, Botany, and Zoology.
Elementary I
Our Elementary I manuals give teachers detailed presentations for guiding children ages 6–9. Lessons are built around hands-on work, so children investigate questions, solve problems, and work together in small groups.
Elementary II
Our Elementary II manuals give teachers detailed presentations for guiding children ages 9–12. Lessons build on Elementary I work and move toward abstraction, so children research topics in depth, carry out longer projects, and present what they’ve learned to others.
