What you may expect from Learning Collection Montessori

Customer service

Our goal is to have completely satisfied customers. We are often willing to customize material. We know that many teachers have specific colors dedicated to their materials. We also know that many teachers prefer a specific font such as D'nelian. Many of the materials we now offer, such as the Timeline of Life set or the Art History sets, are a result of a teacher request. We have been able to improve the quality of our materials because of teacher input. Go ahead and try the materials risk free- we will offer refunds or exchanges if you aren't satisfied.

Expedited orders

Ordering is easy. We accept phone orders, fax orders and mail orders. Many times we ship the same day. We always try and get orders out quickly because we know you are anxious to start using them in your teaching.

Beautiful materials

What makes our materials different is that they feature full color photographs. Montessori always tries to provide the child with the most authentic and real-life method possible. When you are studying the parts of an arthropod or a mountain, why not use photos of the real thing instead of a drawing? We are really excited about a new printing source we have just found which will enable us to offer extremely high quality, glossy prints that you can't get at home. Most of the materials come with teaching ideas.

A Choice to Save Money or to Save Time

We know that there are times when teachers are really busy and want to be able to save time. That is why we offer all of the materials laminated (5 mil), trimmed and ready for immediate use. We also know that there are times when teachers really need to save money and stretch their budget. That is why we offer all of the materials as Economy items, professionally printed on quality cardstock ready for you to finish yourself.

Curriculums and packages

If you are starting a new school, preparing for a new homeschool year or ready to really update your materials we can help. We offer many packages at discount rates. We are also very excited about the new curriculum manuals and kits we offer.
