Our Review Methodology
At Montessori Reviews, our dedication to thorough, first-person testing extends beyond products to include a wide array of Montessori resources. We believe that to truly understand and assess the value of a Montessori school, teacher, book, brand, influencer, or activity, experiencing and engaging with them directly is key. This holistic approach allows us to offer nuanced insights that reflect the depth and diversity of the Montessori philosophy.
How We Test
Our review process is designed to be as exhaustive as possible, encompassing several key areas:
- Montessori Schools: We evaluate schools based on their adherence to Montessori principles, the quality of their learning environments, and the outcomes for students. This includes visiting schools, speaking with educators and parents, and observing classroom dynamics and student engagement.
- Montessori Teachers: Our reviews of Montessori teachers focus on their training, teaching methodologies, and ability to foster an environment of independence and curiosity. We look for educators who embody the Montessori spirit and can effectively guide students through their learning journeys.
- Montessori Books: We delve into Montessori literature, assessing books for their accuracy in representing Montessori methods, ease of understanding, and potential impact on both educators and parents looking to deepen their Montessori knowledge.
- Montessori Brands: We scrutinize brands offering Montessori materials and resources, testing for quality, educational value, sustainability, and adherence to Montessori principles. Our goal is to identify brands that truly support Montessori education.
- Montessori Influencers: With a critical eye, we assess influencers within the Montessori community, evaluating their contributions for authenticity, educational value, and their ability to inspire and educate parents, educators, and the wider community.
