Since 1982 the Michael
Olaf Montessori Company has provided information on how to use Montessori
philosophy in homes and schools. At this site you will fine free reprints of Montessori articles on homeschooling, using Montessori in traditional classrooms, FAQ's, lectures from international congresses, information about Montessori schools and teacher training, reports on international children's projects, and related educational information for anyone interested in healthy child development.
In the Montessori overviews below, there are many suggestions for how to give to children. These ideas help to create beautiful, harmonious, and natural environments that foster creativity, independence of
thought and action, a positive self-image, joy, and a spirit of service
to others and to the world.
THANK YOU for supporting this work for more than 25 years!
