NOTES:
Here are a few other things to keep in mind:
Lessen stress on children by describing any changes in routine before. Tell them when and where you're going, who will be there, and what they might expect to see. This is a way of demonstrating grace & courtesy paramount in the Montessori environment.
A prepared adult is one of the most important parts of the child's environments. Don't feel pressured to do it all. Stay relaxed and organized with a few things on your plate rather than overwhelming yourself with a lot.
"The adult himself is part of the child's environment; the adult must adjust himself to meet the child's needs and not be a hindrance to him." - Maria Montessori, The Secret of Childhood
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!
