"This class has expanded my knowledge in the Montessori way of making my house a learning environment for my daughter. I enjoyed the interaction with my fellow classmates and we all learned a lot from sharing our experiences. As someone who was completely new to Montessori, I would highly recommend this class! I have learned a great deal and have drastically changed my environment to fit the needs of my daughter." - Heather
