A GUIDED TOUR OF MONTESSORI CLASSROOMS
A Guided Tour of Early Childhood & Elementary Montessori Classrooms
Together we are
going to go on
a tour of several
Montessori classes.
Along the way, we’ll
stop and take a look at
children doing all sorts
of things. We are going
to focus most of our
visit on classrooms of
children age three
through six; what Montessori
schools commonly
call the “Primary”
or “Children’s House”
level (in Canada it is
commonly called the
“casa” level). However,
we will also look in on
the elementary classes
to get a sense of how
the Montessori curriculum
extends upward at
the higher level.
We wish to extend a
very special thank you
to the many Montessori
schools that have provided
us access to their
classrooms over the
years. Without their
help, we would never
have been able to compile
the many excellent
photos in this section.
