Abstract/Notes: The article presents the ideas behind forest kindergartens, as well as their interconnection with the Montessori Method. It also includes a brief history of forest kindergartens, both around the world and in Poland, and the characteristics of how they function. The presented data are based on the analysis of source materials, including information found on forest kindergartens’ websites, documents such as the project of “The Pedagogical Concept of Forest Kindergartens Operating in Partnership with the Polish Institute of Forest Kindergartens,” the available research results and the literature on the topic, the telephone verification of the validity of the data shown on the internet map of forest kindergartens in Poland, and participant observations carried out i.a. in “Puszczyk” forest kindergarten in Białystok. The objective of the conducted research was to analyse forest kindergartens and Montessori kindergartens, paying special attention to the similarities in their functioning. As a result of the scientific work, numerous links between the two forms of alternative education were found and these are set out in the article. Moreover, a selection of several Polish kindergartens which draw inspiration from the idea of forest kindergartens and the Montessori education system are presented herein. All of this shows that such a combination turns out to be an interesting proposition for pre-school education, both for the founders of kindergartens and the recipients of the offer – pre-school children and their parents. / Artykuł prezentuje idee leśnych przedszkoli oraz ich związek z metodą M. Montessori. W tekście zawarto krótką historię leśnych przedszkoli na świecie i w Polsce oraz charakterystykę ich funkcjonowania. Dane zostały zebrane na podstawie analizy materiałów źródłowych, w tym informacji zawartych na stronach internetowych leśnych przedszkoli, dokumentów takich jak projekt „Koncepcji Pedagogicznej Przedszkoli Leśnych działających w partnerstwie z Polskim Instytutem Przedszkoli Leśnych”, dostępnych wyników badań i literatury dotyczącej poruszanego zagadnienia, telefonicznej weryfikacji aktualności danych zawartych na internetowej mapie leśnych przedszkoli w Polsce, obserwacji uczestniczących prowadzonych m.in. w Leśnym Przedszkolu „Puszczyk” w Białymstoku. Celem przeprowadzonych dociekań była m.in. analiza przedszkoli leśnych i przedszkoli Montessori pod kątem podobieństw w ich funkcjonowaniu. W wyniku wykonanej pracy badawczej zauważono liczne punkty wspólne dla tych dwóch form edukacji alternatywnej, co opisano w tekście artykułu. Zaprezentowano również kilka wybranych polskich przedszkoli, które czerpią z koncepcji przedszkoli leśnych oraz montessoriańskiego systemu edukacji. Pokazuje to, że takie połączenie staje się ciekawą propozycją wychowania przedszkolnego zarówno dla założycieli przedszkoli, jak i adresatów tej oferty – dzieci w wieku przedszkolnym i ich rodziców.

Abstract/Notes: Montessori's approach to psychoanalysis, particularly her contact with Freud, is analyzed. The subject is developed from a historical perspective, by tracing the direct and indirect influences between the two, and through the analysis of some Montessori's texts closer to psychoanalytic themes. It emerges that both are engaged in the work of “bringing out”, even with different motivations and outcomes, childhood in a new light. For this reason they were both considered uneasy in their time. Moreover, it is outlined that Montessori's relationship

Abstract/Notes: The Montessori Bibliography Online (MBO) makes information about Montessori education and the Montessori movement more accessible through an online interface that includes links to digitized source materials. Historically, Montessori bibliographies and indexes have been published in physical form and include references to other sources, but a direct link is absent. This database builds on previously compiled indexes to consolidate citations into a comprehensive repository with an intuitive user interface and a robust search capability. Additionally, the MBO provides hyperlinks to digitized source material. Although this type of tool is not unprecedented in the larger research and educational landscape, it is novel within the domain of Montessori education. This methodological essay discusses the steps I took to compile and develop the MBO. Beginning with a review of the literature and legal matters, the discussion describes the methods and processes employed. It concludes by outlining future directions for the MBO. The MBO is accessible at https://montessoribib.ku.edu.
