"If you want your children to have a happy, harmonious education and grow into adults who are able to face whatever challenges are in store for them, I highly recommend this insightful book. . . . explains in great detail what the authentic Montessori approach to education is and how it should be implemented. " -Carolina Montessori, Montessori archivist, author, and historian, and great-granddaughter of Maria Montessori

Children's future successes depend on developing the abilities to innovate, be resilient in the face of their mistakes, problem-solve creatively, and collaborate with peers effectively.

However, standard American educational practices-stressing memorization, grades, and testing-are failing to foster these skills. There is one complete system of education that effectively supports the natural development of such essential abilities: Montessori.

Montessori education expert Paula Lillard Preschlack offers a clear explanation of how the Montessori approach helps children. By looking closely at authentic Montessori practices, she shows the tight correlation between the Montessori system in action and children practicing and strengthening the very traits they will need for adulthood.

When implemented properly, Montessori can ensure positive outcomes for generations of children- The Montessori Potential shows exactly how this is done in private and public schools, and at home.
