Testimonials:
"I
don't mean to be overly dramatic but I'm ecstatic about these lessons!...
I never dreamed of extending the Montessori approach into our own Outdoor
Classroom or a Montessori Home Environment, I just didn't know what great
things you can do with infants and young toddlers! I'm just gaga
over Montessori!!! And your lessons!!! It's also so nice to
be able to talk to [correspond by e-mail with] someone else who loves it---My
husband shares my strong belief in the philosophy, but he can only take
so much!!! I could probably talk about it all day long!!! :0)"--Kristin
"Oh, these are wonderful!
This is stuff that she likes to do. I have to laugh at wiping your
nose though. I tried to teach her to blow her nose and now
it is a game for her! I am glad you [offer] the lessons because I had no
idea where to start. Thank you!"--Lissa
