What We’re Reading: The Absorbent Mind by Dr. Maria Montessori
A foundational text that dives into how children learn by absorbing from the world around them — and what that means for us as guides.

One quote we love:
“The child is both a hope and a promise for mankind.”

This book is always part of the journey at ICMS! What’s your favorite Montessori read?

Montessori Material Spotlight: The Pink Cubes also known as The Pink Tower
This seemingly simple material introduces children to size, order, and coordination—all while developing concentration.
At ICMS, our adult learners explore not just how to present materials, but why each one matters in a child’s development.

What was the first Montessori material that captivated you?

Montessori training isn’t just theoretical—it’s deeply experiential. At ICMS, our adult learners practice with the same materials they’ll later introduce to children.
This week: Practical Life.
Why? Because independence begins with meaningful, real-world tasks.

“The greatest sign of success for a teacher... is to be able to say, ‘The children are now working as if I did not exist.’” – Maria Montessori
At ICMS, we prepare adult learners to become guides—not instructors—so that children may lead their own learning.
