Quality
Who it suits—and the catch
The ecological world view, beautiful tactile materials, and coherent color coding are unusually distinctive and beloved in Montessori homes. Fully outfitting a shelf is expensive; the affordable downloads demand serious production and organization time and assume familiarity with Montessori presentation.
- complete packages cost thousands of dollars
- downloads require extensive printing and laminating
- materials need significant shelf and storage space
- not open-and-go for parents unfamiliar with Montessori presentations
