What curriculum for Montessori homeschooling preschool?

[Nicks Mom]

Ds is 2.5 yo & I'd like to get some homeschool - preschool curriculum for him. I'm getting overwhelmed with info - is there like just one book for this or will I have to wade through a bunch & try & figure out what we might need? What would you suggest?

There are many many things you can do for Montessori homeschooling. The home is a heaven for practical life works, for example. There are also many materials you can buy for the home, but it all depends on how much you want to spend. But overall Montessori is a philosophy and this can definitely be applied in the home without charge. However, the child will need to attend a Montessori kindergarten with other children once they are three to reap the benefits of learning Montessori in a healthy, social atmosphere.

After checking out all the other books I could find that are offered on Amazon (through my local library) I liked this one the best for this age group:

http://www.amazon.com/Teach-Me-Mysel...1593520&sr=8-1

It gives really practical advice about activities and how to set up your environment. I found it was written in the easiest to follow way of the Montessori activities books.

If you look down the page at the "what do customers ultimately buy after viewing this item" it gives you the basic list of the other books available. Try your library first and if they have some of them you can leaf through you will probably see what is most appealing to you!
