  • Reviews:
  • Sieglinde Schnellbacher has done a brilliant job of creating Montessori Refresher Course videos that will benefit both newly trained Montessori teachers as well as those who have been teaching for years. She has provided a clear and concise model for presenting lessons in all five Montessori areas. The presentations of the lessons are clear and well done. We have used the videos for several years now, and they have proven invaluable for all of our teachers.

  • The video demonstrations of Montessori primary lessons with additional commentary - have been for me an invaluable guide and review - clear, precise, detailed, well-organized, complete, and beautiful. Mrs. Schnellbacher's mastery of Montessori methodology and depth of classroom and training experience shine throughout. These videos are my most treasured aid in guiding me to be the most effective "aid to life" that I can be. I am enormously grateful to have them!
