Montessori for Early Childhood
Using Montessori to Boost Language Outcomes
As an early childhood educator, you know the challenge: helping every child reach crucial literacy milestones while nurturing their natural love of learning. You need materials that work for diverse learners, align with performance standards, are easy to use (minimal prep time), and actually engage young minds.
That's exactly what our Montessori-based science of reading materials deliver.
Literacy Tools that Work for Every Child
You can support vocabulary/background knowledge and phonics foundations with simple materials that isolate the concept being taught in fun, repeatable activities.
Equity/Diversity & Background Knowledge
Our Geography Folders let you easily but directly encourage conversations about equity and diversity while simultaneously proving knowledge about life around the world. Each folder is color-coded (e.g., orange for North America, yellow for Asia) and contains the same themes like playing ball or getting married. With this approach, children can see that children all over the world play ball but it looks a little different on each continent. This allows them to effortlessly discover that life is similar but wondrously unique around the world.
