Warsaw Montessori Family

We would like to kindly invite you to a special workshop focused on the unique developmental needs of children aged 0–3 and the vital role of Montessori materials in a world increasingly influenced by screens.

“The Evil of Screens”
Monday, 23^rd of March
5:00–7:00 pm

We are deeply honored to welcome Patricia Wallner, MA, from Amsterdam, one of the very few AMI Montessori 0–3 Trainers and practitioners in the world.

During this inspiring and research-informed workshop, Patricia will touch on many topics, including:
• Why hands-on Montessori materials are essential for brain development
• How sensory and movement experiences differ from digital stimulation
• The impact of screen exposure on concentration, language, and independence
• How to adapt and incorporate a thoughtfully prepared home environment to support natural development

We believe that Montessori materials are not simply designed tools; they are carefully crafted to support movement, coordination, language, order, and independence. In contrast to passive screen consumption, they engage the whole child—hands, mind, and heart.

We look forward to welcoming you for an evening of reflection, insight, and meaningful discussion.
