This book offers observations of the child in primary and secondary schools, as well as the more familiar 3- to 6-year-olds in nursery settings.

Everything explained is accompanied by numerous illustrations and photographs, including children demonstrating use of the Montessori materials.

Curricula topics include Montessori's hands-on approach to science, foreign languages, arts and health, wellness and physical education. It has helpful suggestions of how to apply Montessori in the home: The Montessori Way has a chapter full of many practical ideas, including how to organize the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and an arts-and-crafts area.

Special Needs are covered in the chapter called Learners with Exceptionalities, which includes essential questions for the Montessori parent and school. The chapter section concludes with in-depth examples of how individual children learn in the Montessori environment.

This 272-page guide is a must for everyone interested in Montessori education in the 21st century, especially beyond the nursery 3- to 6-year-level.
