Critic reviews

"I enjoyed this clear and concise guide to the Montessori approach. It includes a super interesting history of Montessori and Dr Montessori’s work in San Lorenzo and then goes on to explain how Montessori looks and feels in the classroom at each stage of development. There are also chapters on how Montessori can be applied in the home and with neurodivergent and special needs children. There’s a little bit for everyone in this book and would be helpful for families wanting to learn more about whether Montessori school is right for their child."

Simone Davies, Montessori author and educator

"If you as a parent or teacher are concerned that education is not working well for today’s children and youth, be reassured. The Montessori Way, Revised and Expanded, shows us how education not only can but does work brilliantly in thousands of caring, beautifully designed learning environments around the world. The book is amazingly reader-friendly, providing an insightful explanation of Dr. Montessori’s core principles in the context of contemporary learning theories. Descriptions of early childhood, elementary, and secondary environments demonstrate the enduring power of child and adolescent centered learning communities. And the photos are fantastic!"

Ann Epstein, Ph.D., Professor of Early Childhood Education, University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse

"I'm thrilled to see this enhanced edition of The Montessori Way. Tim's profound understanding of Montessori education, combined with his gift for clear, engaging communication, makes complex principles accessible to everyone. This book, much like Tim's presentations, masterfully bridges theory and practice, offering readers deep insights into the transformative power of Montessori education. Drawing from his decades of experience and wisdom, Tim continues to illuminate the path for educators and parents alike, showing us how Montessori's vision remains more relevant than ever in today's rapidly changing world."

Lucie Tamášová, Founder of the ChildhoodPotential.club and MontessoriParenting.org platforms

"This new and updated edition of the The Montessori Way provides readers with an insightful and comprehensive overview of this groundbreaking educational approach. In helping educators, school leaders, and parents understand the underlying principles and practices that inform what Maria Montessori called a 'prepared environment' of learning Tim Seldin, Paul Epstein, and Robin Howe have succeeded in revealing how this unique model of self-directed learning is radically different and more transformative than most currently employed educational programs."
