Well, we've had an amazingly busy and productive spring! We followed the AMS conference in Chicago in March with appearances at workshops in Cincinnati in April and Toronto in May. We met so many of the people we've talked to on the phone and by email, and made so many new contacts, that we've been working very hard. And the input from Montessori teachers and administrators at these get-togethers was energizing, with lots of ideas and suggestions for new materials (many in development now) and sourcing of new objects. Among the new items that we've added to our selection of phonetic, non-phonetic and...

Hi Montessori educators, We've started packing for our trip to Chicago next week, March 10-13 for the 2016 annual conference of the American Montessori Society. We've been packing thousands of objects, hundreds of sorting sheets, scores of science, geography, math, grammar and word study materials to make a display of classroom-ready learning materials bigger than any we've ever had.  Our language materials have several new additions and refinements at the Pink, Blue and Green Levels. Stop in at our booths to shop the most comprehensive selection of Pink, Blue and Green Level classroom-ready language materials available anywhere.  We've also greatly expanded our selection of pre-reading materials, especially for Toddlers...

Hi Montessori educators, We hope to say hello to you live, in person, in Chicago next month, March 10-13 at the 2016 annual conference of the American Montessori Society. For us, the best part of attending conferences is that we get to meet you, Montessori educators from all over who have supported Montessori Materials by Lakeview for more than 30 years. You’re our inspiration, encouraging us to design, develop and provide you the best, widest selection of classroom materials anywhere. We've added to and refined our language materials, and still provide the most comprehensive selection of Pink, Blue and Green Level language materials...

The move to Montessori Materials by Lakeview's re-designed website in recent weeks meant a move to one site with one web address for all orders and to just one currency for all transactions. With so many international orders from our base in Canada, and U.S. dollars being the default currency of the internet, the move to U.S. currency was essentially designed to be more equal for everyone. To compensate for the exchange rate on U.S. currency, Canadian customers who purchase online will not see any additional charge for shipping and taxes on their order. Still, exchange rates fluctuate, so we offer another...

We hope to see you this Friday at our exhibit at the CAMT show at the Old Mill in Toronto, ON, or at the MMS show at Madonna University in Livonia, MI. We're bringing as large a variety as possible, but our space is very limited at both shows so if you don't see what you're looking for, please ask about it.  Shipping is free for orders over $50 placed at both shows.  Mention this blog post for 5% off your purchase, whether you pick it up at the show or we ship it to you.  We're also offering special discounts for...
