Thinking Of Trying Montessori Style

If you have infants and toddlers definitely watch that video, I just watched the whole thing and it shows a lot of great things on there

When you say you have younger children, what age is that?

Montessori is for all ages, I was able to get trained in infant and toddler (still working on my certification ) but there is so many things to learn about infants and toddlers and so many things that can be done to help them become more independent (feeding,dressing, toileting, etc, communicate, concentrate, hand eye coordination...) there are so many things in our environment that many providers don't realize affect their young ones.

There's a lot of videos on YouTube , here's one

Yay! Got my book from amazon. Something like montrssori the preschool yrs. Its longer title but i am in bed already and too tired to go look at the title. I already cant wait for nap time so i can start reading it. I also went to ross today and purchased some m items. They were priced about the same as amazon only i didnt have to wait for them1 and hubby just got my the alphabet soup cans. Not sure if anyone has them but i really like them. We havent used them much yet but i cant wait to start incorporating them into our program!

People from all over the country and canada and other countries come to this program for training, most are paid by Montessori centers though, I might have been one of the very few who did it for their group family daycare

There are also a board for sensory bins and different craft ideas. The board re this post is called Montessori Trays

I love your pintrest boards they are great.
Do you leave your trays set out all the time for the children to explore freely?
How often do you change your trays weekly/monthly,

Do you do themes or do you focus on basic skills?

Do you still have play areas such as dramatic play and blocks in your preschool enviroment?
