I am pleased to endorse this new contribution to early years libraries on working in early childhood education with Montessori principles. The book expertly explains key concepts from Montessoris approach and their relevance in contemporary early childhood contexts.
This text supports educators to understand the developing child in their early years setting and how to adapt a Montessori approach to meet the childs needs at that time. Starting with the importance of observation and knowing the child, the book offers practical suggestions to help plan appropriate resources and activities.
The author has used their extensive knowledge and experience, bringing together theory and practice to create a text which is rooted in theory and yet is highly practical.
This is a modern, up to date, well-researched and easy-to-follow guide for students, educators, and leaders alike. It reminds us to reconnect with our purpose to follow the child.
