| Abstract: | Janet Begin's paper is based on the recognition and recent discussion of early childhood education in America. Her research touches on the challenges of implementing Montessori birth-to-six programs at Cornerstone Montessori School, Crossway Community Montessori School, East Dallas Community Schools, and Family Star Montessori School. She examines program start-up, funding, regulations and oversight, staffing, and training in a complete summary that points to the next steps in Montessori advocacy. Based on the facts of each program, she covers common aims and perils and, most important, demonstrates the viability and success of the comprehensive family approaches at these schools. |
