Workshop Details
Workshops offered at A Montessori Nest are for adults and infants in arms only. Couples can include any two adults attending together.
All workshops at A Montessori Nest are limited to six people so we can address any particular concerns, questions and situations relevant to all the participants. There is time to share experiences and understand how to personally apply the method.

Math Development for 0-6 years
The Montessori math curriculum is truly spectacular. It really gives children the chance to experience math in a concrete sense.

In this workshop we will cover how you can best support your child's numeracy and math learning by understanding what foundational skills are needed and how math is taught in a Montessori school.
