Summary:

"Brush's book introduces readers to the principles underlying the Montessori approach and, in a friendly, encouraging, accessible manner, guides individuals and organizations in their implementation of these principles in a person-centered care setting. The book includes six sections (one new): Introduction, Meaningful Engagement, The Prepared Environment, Working as a Team, Intergenerational Programming, and Activity Ideas. About 35% of the content is 32 examples of Montessori activities that promote functional life skills, but this is more than an activity book. As the author states, "The Montessori philosophy is not a technique, task, or intervention. It's a way of living one's life to the fullest extent possible.""-- Provided by publisher.
