We do make every effort to include images that are helpful to our readers and that support Montessori philosophy and methodology. Over the past few years, we have been building our own image gallery for just this reason, but sometimes we are still constrained by the images that are available – and that was certainly the case in 2007 when this particular blog was published. Thank you again for your message and we hope that you continue to follow and enjoy our blog.North American Montessori Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03192846885830826722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-501824432676733753.post-10737844200802820872015-09-05T16:27:38.370-07:002015-09-05T16:27:38.370-07:00I really enjoy reading the blogs, however I think ...I really enjoy reading the blogs, however I think it would be really helpful if the authors could be more thoughtful regarding the selections of photos they use and if they promote the Montessori Approach.
