Building a Bridge between School and Home

Building a Bridge between School and Home

Now more than ever, people are finding ways to create learning environments inside their homes to ensure their children continue to develop and thrive. Many participants who take this course are interested in homeschooling, pod-learning, nannying, or are seeking to bridge the approach taken at home for children who attend a Montessori school. Children thrive when there is consistency between home and school. This course provides the principles and application of those principles to create a full Montessori learning experience in the home in much of the same way it is done in a school.
