Maria Montessori opened the first Children's House in 1907 \u003c\/strong\u003ein San Lorenzo, Rome, Italy. \u003cstrong\u003eSelect quotes of Dr. Montessori are included to inspire and enlighten adult readers as they share the book with a child.\u003c\/strong\u003e Montessori principles can be applied at home, in a school setting, or out in the community. The \"Children's House\" is often considered to be like bees buzzing in a hive. Children ages two and a half through kindergarten work and play cooperatively together in a carefully prepared environment. Children are encouraged to be curious, independent, creative, and thoughtful. As Maria Montessori once said \"The education of even a small child, therefore, does not aim at preparing him for school, but for life.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Montessori Day Publishing, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53017575981376,"sku":"9798985127508","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0982\/8912\/3648\/files\/imageloader_ece9e0ff-f3bc-4a2d-bc6b-fd5555190c60.jpg?v=1786544416","url":"https:\/\/silverstreetbooks.com\/products\/the-childrens-house","provider":"silverstreetbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
