Hi Everyone, Happy Fall or Spring! I love the change of seasons. It's always great to have a new beginning.

I recently filled out a survey for a college student about Montessori. The first question, "What was the goal of Montessori?", made me think.
My short answer is that Montessori wanted to help us be better teachers and parents to our children. It's the world's most important job; I am
thankful that Montessori cared so much.

Just for Baby

Basket of Balls
Find different textured balls for your baby to hold
and feel.
Here are some ideas-
golf ball
tennis ball
rubber ball
whiffle ball
baseball
small football

One of the best intellectual activities you can do
with your baby is talk to her or him. Sing, do finger
plays, or just talk to them like a friend. I think
babies understand more than we think. I was one of those
silly mothers who even talked to their babies at the
market.
