One of the truly great books on early childhood development, this brief guide instructs parents and teachers on how to use familiar, easy-to-obtain classroom materials to make the home an effective learning environment. The book covers methods for engaging youngsters in learning while stimulating and honing their visual, auditory, and tactile perceptions. An illustrated guide to the use of Montessori classroom materials. Describes how to set up a "children's house" - an environment for learning where children can be their own masters. Review: Maria Montessori is cutting edge - I am a great admirer of Maria Montessori and her teaching methods, which are revolutionary even today. In this book she describes the philosophy of freedom given to the child within the carefully prepared environment of the Montessori classroom. She also describes some of the specific teaching materials used for sensory, math, and languagev education. The materials themselves are often ingenious, leading the child to a level of achievement not seen in traditional education (for example, the child may understand advanced number concepts and begin writing and reading words at age four). A significant part of Montessori education for very young children is teaching and then expecting independent self-care and care of the environment (for example, children assist in preparing snacks, serve the snacks, and then clean up). Part of the philosophy, as stated in this book, is to allow maximum child independence with minimum adult intervention, only that which is required to initiate a child's response (for example, demonstrating an action which the child is to imitate). I am looking forward to reading more of Montessori's work. She managed, through careful and systematic observation of the child, to come to conclusions which are now being confirmed through brain research (for example, she realized that early adulthood represented a still developing brain; this has been confirmed through the most recent research). So this brilliant woman is still cutting edge 100 years after enumerating her observations. Review: A helpful guide to the basics of the montessori method - I want to understand the philosophy behind the method, and I found this little book to be very enlightening. Maria Montessori made the observation of children her life's work, and we are the beneficiaries of it. The tools she created for the instruction of little ones is timeless, and I'm looking forward to reading more of her literature that explains in detail the mind of the child. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #808,886 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #270 in Educational Psychology (Books) #526 in Parent Participation in Education (Books) #722 in Early Childhood Education | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 457 Reviews | ## Images ![- Dr. Montessori's Own Handbook: (Montessori Classics Edition) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61tJgruGoxL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maria Montessori is cutting edge *by B***M on June 23, 2019* I am a great admirer of Maria Montessori and her teaching methods, which are revolutionary even today.

Maria Montessori made the observation of children her life's work, and we are the beneficiaries of it. The tools she created for the instruction of little ones is timeless, and I'm looking forward to reading more of her literature that explains in detail the mind of the child. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful book! *by M***5 on October 23, 2011* This is my favorite Maria Montessori book, I love her pictures of the kids using the materials. It is great to see what a Montessori classroom looked like in her day, it helps to realize that materials were not all perfect they were well used with chips off the paint, etc. But most of all I love reading her experiences with children, she is absolutely amazing! Plus this book is much easier to read than "Absorbent mind". Definitely recommend this book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/1210542-dr-montessoris-own-handbook-montessori-classics-edition](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/1210542-dr-montessoris-own-handbook-montessori-classics-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-10-20*
