The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of the Montessori method. The first section provides an overview of the method and its underlying principles, including the importance of observation and the role of the teacher in guiding the child's development. The second section focuses on the materials used in Montessori classrooms, such as the iconic Montessori materials like the pink tower, the knobbed cylinders and the Montessori bead materials. Montessori describes how these materials are designed to promote sensory exploration and help children develop their cognitive and motor skills.The third section of the book discusses the practical application of the Montessori method in the classroom, including how to create a prepared environment that is conducive to learning and how to structure lessons and activities to meet the needs of individual children. The final section of the book explores the broader implications of the Montessori method for society as a whole, including its potential to foster peace and promote social justice.
