The absorbent mind is an essential concept for anyone who wants to understand Montessori principles. The KHT Montessori 12-month course discusses important concepts like the absorbent mind as well as techniques for using Montessori methods with children ages 2½-6. Today, I have a free printable for you with additional information on the absorbent mind from KHT Montessori.

The Structure of the KHT Montessori Online Course with Class Forum Example and 12-Month Syllabus
If you wonder about how the course is structured, check out this information by Karen Tyler about the forum based classroom: “Let’s be honest here, most of us are very busy with family, outside jobs, etc. We also all live in many different time zones. Most “virtual class rooms” require you to log in at a specific time to be part of a live webinar/class. Self-paced online programs do not offer the personal direction and discussion with a teacher nor classmates. We have created a Forum Based Classroom that can be accessed any day of the week any time day or night. You can log in on your schedule and read the lectures, ask questions, join in on the discussion and I check in daily to reply and keep the class moving forward. It is the benefits of a live classroom but on your schedule!”
You can see an example of the forum (answering the question: “Is Montessori education rigid?”) here. (Click on the forum image to see it at full size.)

Amazing giveaway. I am a conventionally trained high school teacher but I want to homeschool my daughter using the Montessori approach starting Jan 2018 (she has just turned 3). Although I have purchased many Montessori materials, old teaching habits are hard to break – especially woth the homeschool registration and curriculum planning requirements in my state. This course would provide the opportunity to really “see” how Montessori can be done and hopefully make solid connections with other aspiring Montessori guides. Thank you for your blog, it has been an invaluable resource on my learning and planning journey thus far.
It will be the best Christmas present if I could win this for me and my 19.5-month old daughter. We don’t have a Montessori school in our city so I am planning to homeschool her. I’m interested especially in the Language and Math components!
What an amazing blessing and opportunity this course would be for both myself and my three-year-old daughter! We do not have the option of a Montessori school for her, so we are homeschooling. I have never had any formal training, although I have read and researched extensively and I learned a lot when my oldest child was in a Montessori school almost 20 years ago. These free resources will be a great benefit as well! Thank you!
I would most like to learn about mathematics, followed closely bybhe sciences.
We are staring our first year of elementary Montessori homeschool and I would love to have this resource to help our family in this journey.
I’d especially like to know more on Mathematics
This would be a great resource for my kids and more montessori knowledge for me
IM INterested in practical life section
I would love to win this because i believe it would allow me to have a great foundation to build my first and upcoming homeschool year!
We are firmly in the sensorial stage, but with increasing interest in math and language. So any of those would be amazingly helpful!
As I try to stay ahead of my children in my knowledge of Montessori education, a training program would be very helpful!
I’d love to learn more about Montessori education for my children and my students! Thank you for this great giveaway.
Our eldest son was very fortunate to have spent a year in an amazing Montessori school, but we have had to relocate to a country that does not have any real Montessori facilities. I would love to be able to carry on with the amazing journey he started as a stay at home mom, and help his little brother onto the same journey too.
Really enjoying this blog. Keeps inspiring me to keep learning.
I’d like to learn more on how to present lessons.
Another chance to win valuable resources for my children! My son is now interested in botany…leaves at this moment…, and zoology.
I would really like to learn more in mathematics.
This would be perfect for me. I’m trying to gather as much k owl edge and as many resources that I can in order to homeschool my son. I feel like Montessori is a perfect fit for us. It would be great to have the opportunity to do this course and receive these valuable resources!
Love this Giveaway, thanks for this fabulous chance.
I’m really interested in most of the parts but I certainly want to study more on Sensorial, Physical Science and Language parts.
