Early Learning / Preschool

B&H Publishing Group

This wonderful book is so good that I'm making an exception to include it even though I don't usually review preschool level resources. Barbara Curtis is a homeschooling mom of twelve and a Montessori teacher. Likely because of her own circumstances, she takes a very practical and affordable approach to create a Montessori type environment and education within the home.

Barbara first encourages parents to keep their preschoolers at home rather than sending them elsewhere. While her Christian beliefs are clearly one factor in this regard, her arguments deal more with relationships, the nature of the child, and the best ways to properly nurture and educate a child. While Barbara encourages homeschooling beyond preschool, this is a book for parents whether or not they intend to homeschool beyond preschool.
