MONTESSORI
IN THE HOME
THE PRE-SCHOOL YEARS
is the first handbook for mothers to intro-
duce their children to the dynamic Mon-
tessori method of education at home.
Increasingly popular with parents and
schools, the Montessori method places
particular emphasis on the importance of
early learning. It stresses the individual
growth of the physical, intellectual and
psychological abilities of the child
Mrs. Hainstock's experiences as teacher
and mother prove that Montessori can be
taught effectively in the home environment,
and her book, adapted from actual class-
room activities for more practical home
use, is an invaluable companion to the
mother who is serious about helping her
preschooler build a solid foundation on
which the child’s future learning can grow.
After an introduction to the Montessori
method and instructions for setting up a
“Montessori school’ environment in the
home, the book is divided into sections of
specific exercises, for suggested ages,
with step-by-step instructions for the
mother’s easy comprehension and execu-
tion. Each exercise, illustrated when help-
ful, is designed to teach the child a specific
skill or fact
In addition to approximately fifty exer-
cises, the book shows the mother how to
make all the Montessori equipment used in
the exercises, easily and inexpensively.
Mrs, Hainstock emphasizes “that this
book comes not from a teacher, though |
