environments where
children learn

The importance of childhood settings was
first recognized in the 1900s by Italian educator Maria Montessori. Through studies of children in school settings, she discovered young ones learn best through self education and development of the senses, as opposed to rigid control of their activities and habitat. That's why in the room they call "mine,"
children need to explore who they are, what they are and where they are.
Neither Mom's nor Dad's fantasies should be imposed, no matter how cute or
cuddly. The most meaningful features should be kids' own
creations or personal touches such as art, crafts, photos and
finds. Empowering parent and child to co-design home
spaces that enhance learning is what my books and this web site are
all about. |
