Reading aloud to your child can have a huge impact on their literacy development but were you aware that doing math together at home is also important? By integrating math into life at home, you can teach children not only that math is practical and applicable to our daily lives, but that you value it as an area of study.
As we gear up for another exciting school year, one important aspect of the Montessori approach that many parents might not be familiar with is the concept of phase-in days.
