Produktbeschreibung
The Children's House is a picture book about a special place where young children are respected, nurtured, and empowered. Maria Montessori opened the first Children's House in 1907 in San Lorenzo, Rome, Italy. Select quotes of Dr. Montessori are included to inspire and enlighten adult readers as they share the book with a child. Montessori principles can be applied at home, in a school setting , or out in the community. The "Children's House" is often considered to be like bees buzzing in a hive. Children ages two and a half through kindergarten work and play cooperatively together in a carefully prepared environment. Children are encouraged to be curious, independent, creative, and thoughtful. As Maria Montessori once said "The education of even a small child, therefore, does not aim at preparing him for school, but for life."

Autorenporträt
Mary Elizabeth Wall is the founder and director of Montessori Day School of Wellesley Hills. She is an American Montessori Society certified primary guide and has a Master's in Library and Information Science. She fondly recalls her first visit to a Children's House. She was amazed and excited to see how the young children worked cooperatively and independently in the carefully prepared environment. The Montessori "works" and materials were interesting and engaging and the level of concentration and genuine enthusiasm of the children were inspiring. Care of self, care of others, and care of the environment were evident and contributed to the wonderful sense of community that she observed. She knew immediately that she wanted to learn more about this beautiful way to teach young children. After studying the Montessori method, and seeing it in action, one of the many things she values most about it is the deep respect that is shown for children and the confidence they develop when they know that they are truly seen, heard, and valued.
