Full Description
A practical guide to the Montessori Method for new and experienced homeschoolers
In The Montessori Homeschooler, veteran educator, AMS-credentialed Montessori coach, and founder and CEO of The Montessori Teacher, Lynda Apostol, M. Ed, delivers a practical and empowering guide for parents and homeschooling educators seeking to effectively implement the Montessori Method.

Confidence-building strategies and tools to guide parents as they foster independence and responsibility in their children.
Real-life stories and examples that bring the Montessori Method to life in a homeschool setting
Perfect for parents new to homeschooling and the Montessori Method, The Montessori Homeschooler will also benefit experienced homeschoolers interested in discovering new strategies, tools, and ideas to supplement and enrich their children's educational experiences.
