Mana, I agree 100% on the need to spend 1,000s of $ on montessori materials to learn basic stuff. I am thinking of just following the basic principles and creating a beautiful child sized room with natural materials and toys with maybe some carefully selected montessori materials. I want my child to continue to learn by just asking questions and being inquisitive. I did not sit her down to teach her math operations, adding negative number, or the concept of infinity. She just figured it out by thinking about it and asking questions when something didn't make sense. So I believe she needs my time and attention more than $$$ materials.
