"A child's different inner sensibilities enable him to choose from his complex environment what is suitable and cecessary for his growth...All this happens quietly and unnoticed as long as the child's environment adequately corresponds to his inner needs."
- Dr. Maria Montessori (p. 42,43 The Secret of Childhood)

  •  A Parents' Guide to the Montessori Classroom by Aline D. Wolf

If you are planning on enrolling your child to a Montessori classroom, upon enrollment, you will want to check this book out.  I focuses on the classroom for the 3-6 years olds, it shows all the materials used for this age group with pictures of children actually working with each! It shows a clear idea of what and how your child is going to learn and grow in the specifically designed environment.  It explains very clearly how each material will be used in the classroom and how the "class" will be functioning. I believe it is a MUST READ for all parents as it helps to understand so much about the Montessori environment and what it does to your child's education.
