NAMTA Journal 39/2 11 The Infant-Parent Class: Maximizing Outcomes

In The NAMTA Journal, Volume 39, Number 2, 2014, Spring

Pages: 169-173

The infant-parent class offers the school's first opportunity for a prepared environment and utilizes observation as an important tool for parents. Purposeful work is given to both parents and their young children. Montessori principles, such as teaching sensitive periods for language and movement, convey one activity at a time for bringing parents in touch with their child's point of view. [This talk was presented at the NAMTA conference titled "Montessori from Birth to Six: In Search of Community Values," Minneapolis, MN, November 7-10, 2013.]
