Nursery Foundation Early Childhood: Sensorial (Module 7)

"Nursery Foundation, Early Childhood: Sensorial (Module 7)" is a 65-page teacher training manual published by the Montessori Centre International (MCI) in September 2000. This module focuses heavily on Maria Montessori's foundational philosophy regarding sensorial education as a precursor to abstract intellectual thought. It provides precise pedagogical instructions on how to present classic Montessori didactic materials—such as the Pink Tower, Brown Stairs, Red Rods, Color Tablets, Sound Cylinders, and Geometric Cabinets. The manual outlines how these physical exercises refine a young child's visual, tactile, auditory, olfactory, and gustatory senses, helping them order, classify, and understand the physical properties of their environment.
