Montessori education is so much more than a curriculum! Today, I have a free lecture on an essential Montessori topic for parents and teachers … a sensitive periods lecture from KHT Montessori.
Free Sensitive Periods Lecture from KHT Montessori
Free lecture from the KHT Montessori course on The Sensitive Periods. This PDF includes information on:
- What are Sensitive Periods?
- The necessary 2 Conditions needed for Sensitive Periods
- The unique and ultimate goal in a child’s life
- Identifying the Sensitive Periods (11 of them)
- A list of exactly where you can look for additional information on Sensitive Periods
This printable is a free instant download, courtesy of KHT Montessori! These materials are from the KHT Montessori 12-month course. You can download the sensitive periods lecture here.
To see how the lecture fits into the KHT Montessori course, you can download the 12-month KHT Montessori Online Course Syllabus here.

KHT Montessori Course Schedule for 2020
In case you’re not familiar with our homeschool background, my daughter, Chrissy, was a Montessori child. I homeschooled Chrissy and her older brother, Will, through high school. Chrissy and her husband are homeschooling their 2½-year-old son, Caleb. Chrissy started the July 2020 class of KHT Montessori. She loves it!
You can read about my experiences using KHT Montessori as a teacher refresher in this post.

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.)
You can download the 12-month KHT Montessori Online Course Syllabus here. Find an interactive course syllabus here.

I am an assistant in a casa montessori environment currently, and the certificate program would add to my understanding and helpful-ness in the classroom.
Hi Deb, thank you for all your content! I started homeschooling my two young boys this year- a decision influenced by the pandemic but I had it in my mind from when I was first pregnant it was something we were interested in. In my research Montessori methods and materials have stood out as both intuitive with a solid skills-based foundation and I have been incorporating as much as I can figure out into our lives. I would love to have a deeper understanding and am even considering Montessori teaching as a future career. I would love to win the raffle and explore Montessori at a deeper level to bring it even further into our sphere. Thank you for all your resources and time and energy!
Would love to win the giveaway! I get a lot out if this website and this course would help me as a homeschool mama!
Hi Deb
I would love the opportunity to win Karen’s Montessori training course. I have 3 children that I am homeschooling- 13m, 3 and 5 and her albums would be a god-send. Trying to plan activities for all 3 ages is challenging and time consuming. We unfortunately don’t have a Montessori kindy or school in our area but I want the children to experience to joy and wisdom of the Montessori method. Thanks Alaina
I’d love to win this because there is so much to learn about Montessori and I would love to learn about this topic as it is one I have not come across very often.
I am the mom of a 3-year-old and a 7-month-old, and I am beginning to homeschool my older son using the Montessori method. I have been seeking affordable training opportunities to learn how best to support his learning as he grows and would love the opportunity to take the certificate course! I am most interested in learning more about how best to guide him in learning to read, and am also interested in learning more about geography works for him because this as been an area of interest for him – he loves the globe!

This would be a lifesaver for me- I decided to start homeschooling my daughter (3y/o) but I have no training on how to teach and no formal training on Montessori…I am doing my best by researching in my spare time but it’s overwhelming. Over the last two months we have changed into a Montessori home and we love it!
Such a great prize! I plan to homeschool my kiddos so this prize would be amazing and so helpful
I love this! Would love to brush up on Geography.
This would be wonderful for my grandson whom I will be teaching.
As I am supplementing my kids education I would lové to have training. I have learned so much about Montessori but would love to have actual training
I would like to get more formal training so I can provide a better homeschool environment and lessons for my child.
