Reddit reviews Maria Montessori: Her Life and Work

Yes, if it complements what you do at home. I would recommend you read the following book: Maria Montessori: Her life and work and see if you agree with that philosophy. Once you read the book, look at the different Montessori schools in your area and see if they implement the philosophy.

The other commenters are spot on in that some schools really implement Montessori's methods, while others just use the word for markup. Also, make sure to commit yourself to treating your kid that way 100% of the time, otherwise it won't benefit your kid at all.

That's great! I'd say the original Montessori texts are good of course. Paula Polk Lillard has some good books. And to understand who Montessori was, what this all stems from, etc. I like E.M. Standing's biography of Maria Montessori.
