More and more people are realizing that the age from birth to three is by far the most influential on one's health and happiness throughout life. The text within these pages is based on the Assistants to Infancy course begun by Dr. Montessori in Rome in 1947. Montessori teachers or administrators who give this information to parents with infants notice an amazing difference in these children when they later come into the Casa. And working with these children can be quite enlightening for the adult. It is aimed at Montessori educators, administrators, teacher trainers, board members, and parent leaders.
Articles are well researched yet easily readable.
The emphasis is on practical applications of things that are working in classrooms and schools around the world. New ideas are examined in relation to the fundamentals of Montessori practice. Montessori Life is a 52-page, quarterly periodical of the American Montessori Society. Because its audience includes both professionals and parents, It is somewhere in between a magazine and a journal. Through this publication, AMS hopes to provoke thought, promote professional growth, and provide a forum for discussion of major issues and ideas in our field.
