Dear Friends,
2025 was a year of change for Montessori 
Services. Happily, the end result is that 
Montessori Services and For Small Hands, 
after almost 50 years, will continue as 
part of the Nienhuis Montessori family of 
companies.
This year’s catalog reflects some of what’s 
been going on. Our product line has 
expanded – we now offer shelves, tables, 
chairs, carpets, and nap mats (pp. 7-9). 
We are most excited about the 0-3 Infant/
Toddler section (pages 38-47), with five 
pages of all wood materials from Educo, 
another member of the Nienhuis Montessori 
family. Their selection follows children’s 
development and comes with a timeline 
showing materials appropriate for different 
ages and stages.
What hasn’t changed is our commitment 
to serve you and the children you serve 
in the best way we can. The experienced 
Nienhuis Montessori team now takes care of 
all Customer Service and Shipping in Gilroy, 
California. We are excited and enthusiastic 
about the opportunities before us.
This spring we attended two national 
Montessori conferences where we all worked 
hard, had lots of supportive conversations 
with customers, and got to know the 
Nienhuis team a little better. We had fun 
going back and forth to each other’s booths 
learning how each company is unique.
I am grateful to you, our customers of many 
years and the children and families you 
serve. I am grateful to Dan Bechtold and 
the Nienhuis Montessori organization, for 
making this opportunity available to us. 
Thank you to one 
and all for being 
with us as we strive 
to find the best 
for children.

First we walk ... then we run. 
First we learn a skill ... 
then we learn how to 
apply that skill.
Our cover photo shows a young girl 
perfecting her pouring skills. Soon, 
in a Montessori classroom, she'll 
be serving her own juice or milk, 
washing dishes, or scrubbing a table.
The Pouring Water Activity (PL02) 
shown here is available on page 10. 
Juice Glasses (D510 and D513) are 
on page 11. Find table scrubbing 
accessories on page 14.
