Do you need some Montessori information or inspiration? Here’s a Montessori video with much to offer whether you’re a parent looking for information about Montessori or a parent or teacher looking for ideas to use at home or school. Nurturing the Love of Learning: Montessori Education for the Preschool Years is an excellent video produced by the American Montessori Society (AMS).
I originally published this in May 2010, but I’m republishing it with added inspiration and activities in a high-definition video.
There are many basic Montessori principles shown in the video.
- The classroom environment is attractive and orderly with child-sized furniture.
- The children working with materials on the floor use rugs to identify their personal workspace.
- Children of various ages and abilities work together in the same classroom.
- Work is individualized.
- Practical life, sensorial, language, math, and cultural materials are used.
- The child’s independence is a primary focus.
Regarding independence, the video’s narrator says:
Respecting a child’s desire to be independent is a cornerstone of Montessori philosophy.
Not only is there a good overview of Montessori education for preschoolers, but there are many ideas parents and teachers can use in their own homes and/or classrooms.
Now there’s a high-definition video with new activities … extra Montessori inspiration!

Thank you for sharing this! I have never thought of separating things by smell – what a fun idea!
Thanks for your comment, Dionna! I always loved the smelling bottles. They're rather expensive from some of the Montessori supply companies, but they can be made very inexpensively.
Pinned and tweeted! Nice ideas that inspire us!
Science is no longer a boring subject for me. The videos of Digichamps are realistic and the teachers are energetic which makes learning exciting. I love FUNDUCATION!
