I was trained in the Montessori Method of teaching at the Ravenhill Institute in Philadelphia under the guidance of Mother Isabel Eugenie who had her own diploma “from the hands of Maria Montessori.” I thus may claim connection to the real and original teaching and not the profit-intended, mail-order diploma that is wide-spread today. I have taught at three Montessori schools and founded one of them. I have also raised three kids to adulthood. You may depend on what I say in these essays as intended for your best interest as parents considering Montessori education for your child.
