Teacher Manuals

Do you need the entire scope and sequence for a developmentally-appropriate early childhood program? You are in the right place.

Our Montessori Teaching Manuals are designed for teachers in primary/early childhood classrooms (ages 3 to 6+). These early childhood albums are a great support for: 

• School leaders who need to create a common, school-wide approach across classrooms where teachers have diverse trainings
• Montessori Instructors/Teacher Trainers and their students
• Trained Montessori guides looking to increase their knowledge and understanding of the pedagogy and align their practice with the authentic teachings of Dr. Montessori 

Note: These albums alone are no substitute for a teacher preparation program.

From our Founder

"I am offering these albums because science can not study what is hidden. If we want the Montessori method to be validated through research, we must make the method known to those who would study it. We can look to the success of other manualized programs (like cognitive behavioral therapy) as a model to help improve our teacher education programs."

- Julia Volkman, ALM (Harvard), AMI (3 to 6+)

The Maitri Album Difference

Our albums are grounded in the AMI/Dwyer approach with the added insight of current research. You can read more about the albums in our blog post on Montessori Manuals/Albums. Learn how they can be used in an authentic teacher preparation program in our blog post on Teacher Education. 

Our albums are:

• Cohesive:  Unified across the curriculum (sensorial is aligned with math, etc.)
• Brain-based:  Infused with the teachings of cognitive neuroscience, neuropsychology, neurobiology, and MBE (mind, brain, and education)
