Montessori From The Start
Paula Polk Lillard and Lynn Lillard Jessen on the child at home from birth to age three, and on setting up an environment that helps focus and concentration develop instead of interrupting them. 259 pages, soft cover, 2003 edition. It is a long book by the standards of this shelf and a practical one, and the first three years are the part where the home matters more than the classroom, because there usually is not a classroom yet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is this book listed as 'Ages 3-6' when it covers birth to age three?
This appears to be a categorization error. The book specifically covers child development from birth to age three, as indicated in the title. Parents should use this guide for infants and toddlers up to 36 months, not for 3-6 year olds.
What specific topics does this book cover for the 0-3 age range?
The book provides guidance on creating Montessori-aligned home environments, supporting natural developmental milestones, fostering independence through daily activities, choosing appropriate materials and activities, and understanding your child's sensitive periods during the first three years.
Do I need prior Montessori knowledge to use this book effectively?
No, this book is written for parents new to Montessori principles. The authors break down complex educational concepts into practical, easy-to-implement strategies that any parent can apply at home, regardless of their educational background.
How does this book differ from general parenting books?
This book specifically applies Montessori educational principles to home life, focusing on respecting the child's natural development, creating prepared environments, and fostering independence through purposeful activities rather than traditional play-based or adult-directed approaches.
Can this book help if my child doesn't attend a Montessori school?
Absolutely. This book is designed specifically for home use and helps parents implement Montessori principles regardless of their child's future educational setting. The strategies support overall child development and can complement any educational approach.
