Understanding Montessori Theory and Child Development
with Maggie Radzik
A One-Day Workshop for Parents, Caregivers, Catechists, Anyone Who Works With Children or is Interested in Human Development.
"How can I best support the children in my life?"
What You’ll Learn:
The philosophy of the Montessori approach
Principles of Child Development from in utero through 24 years
Infant neurodevelopment
How to bring Montessori into the home
Ways to aid in development
The parenting journey is a challenging one! We often get questions on how parents and grandparents can support their child's development at home. We also get questions about how can a greater understanding of human development assist with those who work with children (to include childcare providers, social workers, and more).
Explore the depths of the Montessori philosophy and its practical application. Encourage the children in your life to reach their full intellectual, physical, and spiritual potential by becoming more aware of the Four Planes of Development and the adult’s role in guiding the integration of the child’s mind, body, and soul through their work and their environment.
