How to address violence in the news with your kids.
Teachers can use Montessori Preschool as a supplement to traditional hands-on Montessori work. Playing these Montessori games in digital form helps present them in an alternate way prior to (or after) introducing the hands-on work. This is especially for kids who struggle with fine motor skills, concentration in busy classrooms, or other group-learning scenarios. Because games are leveled and increase in difficulty as kids level up, kids should play individually on separate devices. If teachers create an account, they can access Montessori Preschool from up to seven devices.

The activities in math, language, practical life, and art align with the fundamentals of the Montessori Method: self-correction, autonomy, self-confidence, and adaptability. Kids can learn numbers and basic math, practice handwriting and spelling, learn geometric shapes, feed a fish and clean its tank, and more. Kids earn coins by completing activities and can use the coins to decorate their classroom or dress their avatar. If teachers create an account, they can access a dashboard that tracks kids' progress and suggests an appropriate next activity.
Kids can practice early literacy and math skills with Montessori Preschool. Topics like basic geometry vocabulary and shapes identification, art, practical life skills, and geography learning are appropriate for kids age 3 to 7. They also present experiences with the fundamentals of Montessori learning: self-correction, autonomy, self-confidence, and adaptability. However, the use of coins as rewards doesn't align with Montessori fundamentals, so purists might not love that feature.
The app is good for preschoolers who need supplemental practice in foundational math and language concepts presented in a mini-game format. Some games or instructions aren't as well-designed as others, and sometimes kids may struggle to figure out what they're supposed to do in a game. Teachers should be available to help kids when needed. In as much as the Montessori method can be replicated through a screen, Montessori Preschool does a pretty good job.
