Publisher's Summary

Paula Lillard, director of a Montessori school ranging in age from 18 months to 15 years, provides a clear and cogent introduction to the Montessori program for the elementary and later years. 

In detailed accounts, Lillard shows how children acquire the skills to answer their own questions, learn to manage freedom with responsibility, and maintain a high level of intellectual stimulation by using the Montessori method. 

This is an essential handbook for parents and teachers who have chosen the Montessori alternative for the older child.

Well explained overview of Montessori education

I enjoyed this book thoroughly because it combined an overview of the history, theory, practical application and future development of Montessori education. As a parent of Montessori children it gave me a clear understanding of the purpose and system that Montessori designed and which has taken hold today in the U.S.
