Young children typically love to learn about space. Astronomy is a subject covered in one of the core teacher manuals in the KHT Montessori 12-month course. Today, I have a free 37-page astronomy cards printable 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.)

Montessori transformed me into a better me, it redirected my career path from Architecture to Education but most activities I give to my daughter are practicial life related, I hope to familiarize myself to more Montessori activities. My goal is someday share this experience to other kids in our area, I hope I would have enough guts to introduce this principle to public schools in the future, believing that through Montessori, we can raise or mold a better generation who would someday protect and save our natural environment. – motherfarmerph
I would most likely study Botany, we live in a mountain and enjoying farming life but most activities here are not appropriate to my 18-month old daughter so she only does basic ones such as watering the plants, coffee cherry picking, cycling, picnic or just strolling around. I would like to take advantage of our place by introducing more nature-related activities suitable for her age through the Botany curicculum.
I am looking forward to botany and other sciences because my kids love these subjects!!!
I hope to homeschool my children and would be grateful for se free albums to use as my curriculum.
I am very interested in the Montessori method. In The Absorbent Mind, Maria Montessori says “the child has a mind able to absorb knowledge”. I am excited to use the training to learn more and build a positive environment for my toddler where he can explore and expand his mind. Thank you for this opportunity.
(I also submitted the Rafflecopter form as instructed.)
I would be most interested in the practical life album. Thank you.
I find that the Montessori method is so practical and scientific and there’s no better way to educate our young children. I’m most interested in the Physical Science curriculum, when children reach the curious age of asking “why” everyday, an understanding of science concepts will enable them to inquire and learn more about the world around them. Thanks!
I’m so excited for this opportunity! I’ve been following you for years and have loved Montessori even longer. Now I actually gave a toddler & a preschooler and am a stay-at-home Homeschool mom to them and my 13 year old son so I can finally do Montessori with them at home! Hoping I win this!
I would love the geography one!
I’d love to win this course! I’m a foster mom, and it would be a great way to help our kids build their self-esteem, and learn how to manage themselves.
Hi Deb, thank you so much for all the information you provide on your blog/website and YouTube channel, it helped me a lot during the past few years to try and make a difference in my children’s learning and development.
I would love to win the give-away as it would deepen my knowledge and in turn benefit my two girls (3 and 6 years old) even more! Keeping my fingers crossed 🙂
This would be a tremendous asset to my family. I have a 2 and 4 year old and have incorporated many of your ideas into their learning. This would help me deepen my knowledge as well as theirs.
I filled out the Rafflecopter form. My granddaughter is very curious and inquisitive. She wants to know how things work and go together. I would love to be able to work with her to explain properly how to discover the answers for herself and help her become an independent thinker and problem solver. Her parents would love for her to be taught in a Montessori manner, but the options for that in our area are limited. If I could augment, or even oversee, her education I feel it would be a boon to an extremely shy, but self-motivated little girl.
The ecology unit would be great to encourage my granddaughter to explore and love the world we live in and at the same time learn how to care for our world.
Always quality products and engaging activities from KHT. Authentic pictures can make all the difference. Thank you for sharing with other educators.
I would love to win the KHT 12-month course because it will really help me and my kids with our Montessori lifestyle. I have always wanted to homeschool them using Montessori’s approach and although there are so many resources in the internet it would be best to have a formal training on how to properly apply the philosophy. And enrolling to a formal Montessori training will cost me a fortune! As a mom, I feel the responsibility of being my children’s first teacher and I find Montessori as the best learning tool to be that mom and teacher I imagined to be. As I follow my children I see so much potential in their growth and O want to fuel it more by providing them the right environment and process. I would be very glad to win this course so my journey to Montessori living will keep rolling!
Ive been following this blog for a year now. I decided to home school my son the Montessori way for a year (5 yr) and it was such a great resource. I am looking into becoming certified to work in a Montessori school in the future. Our favourite unit is botany (we have a permanent nature table) and geography.
Thank you for the opportunity
I love to win this giveaway because I really wanted to attend the KHT online course but I can’t afford it, to be honest. I want to learn more from online course because we’ve been planning to homeschool my son. We are doing Montessori at home for awhile now but attending an online course will help us to learn more and deepen our understanding regarding the philosophy.
Thank you so much for the freebies! 🙂
I would be most interested in Practical Life, Language and Math!
I’m a (self educated Montessori) homeschool mom to 5 precious children and a course like this would be a lovely refreshing inspiration for me and consequently them.
