Have you ever wondered what Montessori is? Many of us have heard the name "Montessori" but do not know what Montessori teaches. For over 100 years, the Montessori Method, based on the scientific observations of Maria Montessori, one of the first female physicians in Italy, has universally educated preschoolers in Practical Life Skills, Sensorial Awareness, Language Development, Art, Music, Science, and Mathematics. It is a natural way of learning through modeling, freedom of choice, and self-discovery with the aid of manipulatives and trained guides to facilitate absorbent minds in becoming lifelong learners.

Contemporary literature about Montessori is limited. Montessori for You and Your Child is a practical question and answer format book that unveils the mystery of Montessori so families can make an informed choice for their preschool aged children. Mary Da Prato, an early childhood development specialist, is a graduate of Montessori Institute Northwest and holds an Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) Primary Diploma for teaching 3-6+ year old children that is recognized in 110 countries as a high standard of excellence in guiding early childhood development through theory, observation, presentation of materials, and other age appropriate activities.
