Abstract/Notes: Purpose was to determine the degree of similarity among various selected Montessori preschools in the areas of educational materials and equipment, scheduling objectives of instruction, teacher's educational background, and the socio-economic levels of the children enrolled. The investigation was limited to institutionally related schools or those functioning under the auspices of a licensing agency. Additional criteria stipulated that teachers in schools investigated must be Montessori trained, and that school groups include only normal children. One hundred and thrity-six schools responded to an invitation to participate by completing a questionnaire. Tabulation of responses included 53.1 per cent of identifiable Montessori schools. The findings indicated that variations exist among Montessori schools in the emphasis given to various aspects of the curriculum, methods of instruction, objectives, the contribution and character of group work, and the estimate of what the school environment should accomplish. Although areas of philo: sophical agreement do exist, at the preschool level wide variations in the interpretation of Montessori principles seem to exist. No actual observation of schools was undertaken. The possibility of sampling error must also be considered.

Abstract/Notes: The Day 1 Academies Fund aims to support a network of high-quality, full-scholarship, Montessori-inspired preschools in underserved communities. To provide insight into the fund's pedagogical inspiration, in this report I provide a high-level overview of the Montessori preschool landscape in the United States. This overview includes 5 key programmatic elements of a traditional Montessori approach to teaching and learning in classrooms serving preschool-aged children, the reported availability of Montessori programs that enroll 3- and 4-year-old children, and what is known about enrollees' demographics. To situate this information in the larger, publicly financed, early education policy context, I also provide similar data for state-funded pre-K and federally funded Head Start programs for preschoolers. In addition, I review research on children's outcomes after participating in U.S.-based Montessori preschool and elementary programs. This overview provides some context for understanding how the Day 1 Academies Fund eventually defines the constructs of high quality, Montessori inspired, and underserved. This review also suggests it could be useful for the Fund's stakeholders to undertake short-term research examining the current early education options of families with low incomes living in low-access-to-Montessori states as well as long-term research aimed at expanding the research base on the effects of Montessori programs aimed at preschoolers.

Children with Disabilities Attending Montessori Programs in the United States

Abstract/Notes: Early childhood education plays a critical role in establishing positive social-emotional behaviors and promoting the development of skills needed to succeed in elementary school. Although inclusion of children with disabilities (CWD) in early childhood classrooms is increasing throughout the world, numerous social, logistical, and political factors continue to present challenges to full inclusion. The Montessori educational approach, established at the beginning of the 20th century and now applied widely throughout Europe and the United States, may present a highly suitable learning context for CWD, particularly given its historical basis in efforts to meet the needs of underprivileged and cognitively delayed children. On a theoretical level, the inclusion of CWD should be an accepted practice for Montessori programs yet reports of the number and characteristics of CWD attending Montessori programs are scarce. This paper reports upon the findings of a survey of U.S. Montessori early childhood programs’ current enrollment of CWD. The survey indicated that CWD represent 3.75% of the infant and toddler (0–3 years) population and 8.49% of the preschool/early childhood (3–6 years) population at responding institutions. Additionally, although school directors indicate that their teachers generally feel confident and competent including CWD in their classrooms, they expressed a need for ongoing professional development and additional support from special education experts to further empower the inclusion of CWD in all aspects of Montessori education.
