Description
Parents so often ask, “What do our children do during a typical school day at their Montessori School?”, The Montessori School: A Typical Day by Kathleen Futrell answers the basic questions for parents and allows them to understand the ‘preparation for life’ their children experience in a Montessori school.
“A Montessori classroom is child-centered. The guide (a Montessori teacher or Directress), is the link to the materials.

Originally written for parents at The Aquinas Montessori Children’s House in Virginia.
