An Education for Life: What Children Really Get Out of Montessori

By | Sep 28, 2018

When we try to define what our children really “get” from Montessori, we need to expand our vision to include more than just the basics. Of course they learn to read, do four-digit mathematics, recognize geometric shapes, and identify the parts of a plant and a mollusk. They also learn how to be a contributing member of a community. A Montessori school is more than a classroom. It is a society in a microcosm, and the skills and lessons they learn in this environment extend well beyond the...

The Child’s Power of Love

By | Sep 11, 2018

The experience of authentic unconditional love differs from romantic and other types of love. Unconditional love is not based on possessing or acquiring. When we know this love, we experience personal and universal peace. And while this love is observed and discussed repeatedly by the world’s great teachers, we seldom consider how this love also emanates from children. The smallest of babies cause us to smile. They and older children awaken us, and we engage in peaceful action.  ...

The Cultured Child

By | Sep 11, 2018

“You may have tangible wealth untold: Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold. Richer than you can never be. I had a mother who read to me.” —Strickland Gillian Cuddling up with my mother and being read to by her is probably one of my most favorite memories of my childhood; and well past the time when I could read myself, I always enjoyed being read to by her. She was quite the storyteller and spinner of words, and I was mesmerized into listening so intently as we traveled through different...

The Story Behind the Scarves & Ties

By | May 7, 2018

The year 2017 marked the 25th anniversary of Tim Seldin and Joyce St. Giermaine founding the Montessori Foundation. We wanted to honor their work with a unique gift, a creation to express our profound appreciation for their tireless effort. And thus was born, the Seldin Men’s Tie and St. Giermaine Infinity Scarf. The design was inspired by the Metal Inset work of Anne Frank (yes, the Anne Frank who was a Montessori child before she was imprisoned during World War II). Her drawing was our...
