Montessori sets/kits available in HK? Montessori at home.
I am interested in spending time with my child at home and exploring basic elements of the Montessori method with him. He is 2 and will attend a preschool beginning in January which incorporates some of the methods but is not a "Montessori school" as such. My intention is not to do any formal home-schooling but to apply some of the Montessori concepts in my free time and to schedule a small amount of time most days to do so.
I have a few questions for sharing:
1. MONTESSORI KITS/SETS: I am interested in purchasing a set of montessori materials, particularly those non-paper products which cannot be downloaded from free Montessori/home-schooling sites, containing some of the basic sensorial, math, language, geography, etc. materials. I have seen kits in US websites. Are "kits" or sets available in HK? (I will email a few of the sites previously mentioned in this tread to check on prices for sets as well.) Also, since they tend to be a bit costly, is there a second hand market for these materials?
2. MONTESSORI AT HOME: I would also be interested in getting in touch with others in HK who may also be working with their children at home using the Montessori method - either in a formal home school setting or who casually utilize the materials on an ad hoc basis with their child. I would appreciate any references to resources, groups, websites, ideas, etc.
3. Where (and what) is "UNY" in HK please? I understand it is a retail shop which sells Montessori materials as well?
Thank you for sharing!
