Dilhani says
I would love to win any Montessori material because I live in Carlisle in the UK & Montessori is not very popular & they have got a very negative opinion of it! I did a Montessori course in Sri Lanka & I absolutely love it. I teach in a local school in Carlisle & am able to gradually introduce Montessori philosophy which they are beginning to love. The material would definitely help me to introduce to the school & would help my financial side as well. I have started off with the sand paper lower case letters but can’t afford anymore for a while! If Montessori picks up here in Carlisle it would be WONDERFUL! I would also like to do the course again with you but you won’t be starting till next year?
