The Children's House

<p><strong>The Children's House is a picture book about a special place where young children are respected nurtured and empowered. Maria Montessori opened the first Children's House in 1907 </strong>in San Lorenzo Rome Italy. <strong>Select quotes of Dr. Montessori are included to inspire and enlighten adult readers as they share the book with a child.</strong> 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. </p><p><br></p>
