"I finally had a chance
to explore your program and I must say that I really LOVE it.
The information you share is amazing! The sites that you have listed
and the you tube videos are filled with more information than I ever expected
for the small fee that you charge. I am so happy to have found you!!
The children in my care and I will benefit from your ideas and research.
Thanks again for all of the guidance."--Pam K.
"Thank
you for the wealth of information you are making available. I received
my AMI diploma for the Primary Classroom from the Washington Montessori
Institute at Loyola College of Maryland in 2007. I am now a stay-at-home
mom. God bless you as you continue to educate the masses and care for your
precious child. What you are doing is invaluable. Thank you!"--Jody Trainor

"I
just wanted to tell you how much I love your [infant] ideas! I'm a
Montessori teacher myself, but right now I'm a stay-at-home mom. Even if
I guess I could have figured some of [the infant activities] out, it is
so nice to have a list of lessons to implement. Again, thank you!"--Sophie
"Thank
you for such a resourceful website. You don't know how much you are
helping me"--A.T.
"Thank
you so much for this great feedback. I've been following your advice.
It works!"--M.
"I love your site-it's
exactly what I spent 6 months looking for! The biggest help was the
daily routine and how you set things up--knowing what someone else's Prepared
Environment looked like really helped in creating ours. And when you get
your child a plant to take care of, don't get a cactus."--Peggy
"Thank you so much for
your understanding and down-to-earth response to the travails of toddlerhood
in our household!"--D.
"Your
program is outstanding!! Thanks..."--Ashley

time to answer my questions."--Jessica

me a lot for the last two years... you have worked hard on providing us
with these wonderful learning, parenting tools.... And I want to let you
know that the changes you have made to the website are wonderful, and I
love it that you personalyze it with real photos. I loved seeing your photos
and you and your darling little boy and I loved reading your personal blog."--Viviane

found your resources. Your material is fantastic! I have 5 &

"I
love your blog... everything you do. You are a true blessing to so
many! After trying out your homeschool activities for a little while
last year...I went ahead and decided to montessori homeschool my 3 children.
I love the montessori philosophy."--Christy
"I
wanted to tell you how relieved I am to have the Montessori activities
for my daughter.
I
worked in a Montessori school... and I wouldn't change that experience
for the world... it changed my entire outlook on everything....15 years
later [with] my 1st child I needed a refresher and you provided that for
me. It dawned on me that I rarely bought toys for her at the store because
I was never convinced they were going to aid in her development so I started
my Montessori search on the internet and found you. For the price of
1/2 of a toy at Target I have enough activities to keep my daughter "working"
for a long time and I feel that I can do a better job of offering a more
natural environment for her to grow in.
Thank you, thank you, thank
you!"--c_lisat
"I
really appreciate this program. He loves to work at the [toddler]
activites. They are play to him but he is learning so much."--Jessica
"Thank
you so much for the service you provide! My son is 11 months
old and definitely more focused on motor skills and trying to stand right
now, so we're taking it easy on the other activities. I really appreciate
that you offer answers to everything the books don't explain."--Rowena
"I
also ordered the 3 year old [program] and we are loving it! Thanks!"--Crystal
"Thanks
so much for my ebook, it looks great, I have been glued to it for the
last half an hour and I can't wait to print it off and read it through
properly."--Jane
"Thank
you and I will be passing along this fabulous website to friends who
are now becoming interested in Montessori."--Heidi
"I
can't thank you enough for getting right back to me. You sound wonderful
and have really given me hope in working with my grandson. I'd be happy
to get the information together concerning FAS for you..."--Mary Jane
"Thank
you so much for your quick response.... It was really helpful to read
your answers to my questions, and I feel much more relaxed about it all....
Thanks again!"--Fiona
"I

"Thanks
so much MEARTH! I'm very pleased with the layout of your [activities] and
lessons. They are well suited for someone with Montessori experience
and knowledge like myself, yet just as informative and user-friendly for
my husband and baby's grandparents-to-be to pick up and follow. Well
done!!!!"--Renay
"Thank
you so much for the lovely information! My youngest daughter
is having her second child and I wanted to study more about Montessori
and Infants. I am AMS certified for pre-primary (2 1/2 to 6 ) and I teach
on-line Montessori Courses. I will be sure to direct my over 200 students
to you for information on infants!"--Karen Tyler, http://amontessorimarketplace.com,

"Hi, just a quick thank
you for all the info you are sending my way. I am so glad that I ordered
this. Keep up the good work!!!!!"--Lore:))))
"I'm telling all my girlfriends
about your fabulous service and site! Worth every penny!"-- Heidi Aspen
Rhoades
"I sincerely appreciate
your lessons, they have been easy to adapt for [my child's] age and
so informative. You've done a great job putting these lessons together.
Thanks!"--Robin
"Also wanted to say that
I have been enjoying reading the articles on your site and that Karen
and I have had fun with the first exercise. It's amazing how something
as simple as tracking can hold her attention for so long. Thanks!"--Susan
Jones
"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 sent the lessons because I had no idea where to
start. Thank you!"--Lissa
"Thank you so much for
your thoughtful response. It really helps, and gives me a lot
to think about, and some very concrete ways we can focus on meeting [our
child's] needs through this move. We have a lot of changes about
us over the next few months, with me going back to work fulltime, dad taking
over the stay-at-home parent duties, and moving to a new place. Your thoughts
on making these adjustments smoothly are just extraordinarily helpful and
appreciated!"--Ashley
"I've
been wanting to tell you -- Rhea just loves the activities. Thanks!"--Ashley
McIlvain
"Your
lessons and advice have been very helpful, particularly as I'm a payroll
mother and don't have a lot of time with my son: your service is an excellent
way to stay in tune with his development, and with him, and helps us to
grow together. We like Montessori!"--Petit Canard
"Your information has
been extremely helpful over these past few weeks. They have been right
on target developmentally for my son.....I had to work when my first son
went through all these milestones and this information is allowing me to
enjoy these moments even more with my younger son now that I am able to
be at home with the both of them...."--Renee
"I
don't mean to be overly dramatic but I'm esctatic 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
"Hi, Lisa. I want to thank
you for everything.... I appreciate all your assistance and everything
you've done. You answered all my pressing questions and concerns and I
feel like I've found better direction for our Montessori homeschool environment!
And that's HUGE!"--Kristin
"I did the toddler program
with you with my other son who is 2 1/2 earlier in the fall. THANK YOU
so much for it --- I meant to say so earlier. Your activities were
really wonderful and helped to tide us through until he was able to get
into a preschool setting."-- :)Christina
"Thanks again for all
of the easy to understand links and info. One of the things that grated
on my nerves about my Montessori training was the all or nothing approach.
I felt like if the children picked up something the "wrong" way all was
lost. I don't feel that judgement from your material. I know
it is best to hold as fast and true to the original as possible but sometimes
it isn't practical. I am looking forward to integrating as much Montessori
as possible into my own style of teaching with my children. This is definitely
giving me a place to start."--Cheryl
"Hi Mearth! thanks so
much for the wonderful resources. we are living in sakhalin,
russia so we are so excited that with your program stephen will be able
to experience the montessori methods. thanks again!" --jackie
"I have truly enjoyed
reading the materials.... Thank you! They were a blessing
to my day. I learned many things already and was inspired to reorganize
my environment.... Thank you for the reminder of how precious children
are and that I am the example and I need to rise to the occasion more."
Nancy Pendergast
"Thanks for the excellent
lessons! They are super. Just the sort of thing we will really enjoy.
Wow, a Montessori teacher AND a mind reader! :) " Monica
"I loved your program.
I found it very helpful.... I teach head start in San Diego. We are
not Montessori but I have the training and try to add Montessori when possible.
Your site was very good." Diane Sabeghi
"I wrote some time ago about
homeschooling curriculum.... My daughter has gone to Montessori school
from the ages of 3-6. I think it would be a shame if I was unable to continue
offering her the Montessori education at home, just because we will be
living rurally....
Thank you very much!" Martha McBride
"The site is most informative for
those of us at home who want quality education. There seems to
be so many different ways to teach the reading and writing skills, so one
uniform method we can follow is good." Judy W.
