From 27 years in Montessori and special education, I've developed a learning center approach to parenting. From the time our kids were toddlers, I arranged their play area with learning stations. When I home schooled, I did the same with the school room. If you've got preschool age kids or are homeschooling, I highly recommend at-home learning centers. Here's how this Montessori mom set up a science learning center. Montessori Mom--at Home Preschool Science Learning Center
Hands-on learning activities, science experiments and objects lessons. This is science, math, social studies, chemistry, alchemy and as nature intended- with messes, explosions, weird smells, pretty lights, scorched hair and acid burns (kidding, really...)Definitely not your dad's boring paper-and-pencil science class...
