Today marks the start of Kwanzaa, also spelled Kwanza. It's a seven-day non-religious holiday observed in the US, meant to honor African Americans' ancestral roots. The celebration lasts until January 1. The name comes from the Swahili phrase "matunda ya kwanza," which means "first fruits."

When we talk about “saying no”, we can become a bit fixated about the word. But in general, it is about setting limits. What is important here is that your child understands, little by little, why there is a rule and what they can do instead of what you are preventing them from doing.

Uninterrupted Work Periods: one of the most important principles of a Montessori education. At Guidepost Montessori, all children are given a set period where they can complete different tasks at their own pace. Our morning Uninterrupted Work Periods are typically 3 hours long; afternoons are 2 hours. Studies show it builds concentration, focus, independence, confidence and capability. ❤️

Why is handling a chair important and an important essential lesson in Montessori?
Dr. Montessori concluded that this careful movement and handling of things was very important in the child’s development, as it connected her mind to her body, paving the way for coordination, concentration and purposeful work. Have your child show you how to do this at home too!

"Teach Your Child to Clean Up After Themselves." A theme that comes up consistently in the Montessori approach to parenting is the idea that we want our children to become independent human beings even at an early age. Maria Montessori taught the world that it is our job as parents to be our children’s guides, not their servants. Here, 3 year old Baris is self-motivated to clean up after a spill.

What is the purpose of the Pink Tower? This seemingly simple Montessori activity is actually pretty in depth in its purpose. The Pink Tower helps a child develop many skills - including visual discrimination, the mathematical concept of the cubed root, and it helps develop their fine motor skills.
