Book: Maria Montessori speaks to parents – Maria Montessori

Book Maria Montessori speaks to parents – Maria Montessori / Montessori-Pierson Publishing Company

The Maria Montessori speaks to parents soft cover book from the Montessori series, volume 21, published by Montessori-Pierson Publishing Company, is a small volume featuring 11 lectures in which Maria Montessori gives parents an introductory explanation of her vision on education.

There always has been a great need on the part of the parent to be as knowledgeable as possible about child development and the essence of Montessori education. Maria Montessori never underestimated the role of the parent, which is why she wrote special lectures for parents during courses and congresses. The book contains an unpublished coherent set of small writings addressed to parents recently found in the pedagogical Archives of Maria Montessori. It also contains a small biography of Maria Montessori for those parents who do not know her.

Paula Polk Lillard, the internationally respected Montessori author, wrote the Foreword to this book, in which she describes her transition from a traditional public school teacher to a Montessori mother, teacher and trainer.

Based in Laren, the Netherlands, the Montessori-Pierson Publishing Company publishes and distributes the books as well as the unpublished writings by Dr. Maria Montessori in English and Spanish.

The publishing house upholds, propagates and furthers the pedagogical principles and practices formulated by Maria Montessori for the full development of the human being. They also care for and maintain all the (publishing) rights and copyrights of the work and books of Maria Montessori and the Archives of Maria Montessori which are managed by the Association Montessori Internationale in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
