The For Small Hands School Credit Promotion is an opportunity for any school or educational institution to earn credit for Free Materials from Montessori Services. Qualifying For Small Hands orders (placed Sept. 1 – Dec. 31) not only earn credit, but also support families and children at home with teacher-selected, age-appropriate, child-size items that encourage independence, creativity, and problem solving.

- 15% credit for orders $500 or more.
Orders can earn credit from Sept. 1 – Dec. 31.

Two types of orders can earn credit:
- Group Orders: Your school can collect and combine For Small Hands orders from families into one large Group Order (one payment, shipped to one address). When it arrives, the school distributes it to families.
- Tend to generate more enthusiasm and earn more credit, but can be more work to coordinate.
- Can qualify for FREE regular shipping (to one U.S. address) if ordered by Oct. 25 and over $500. (Otherwise, families still save on shipping by ordering as a group.)
- Individual Orders: Your school can invite families (or anyone) to place personal orders from For Small Hands, designating your school as the credit recipient.
- Require less work, but usually earn less credit.
- NEW! Can be placed with a Custom Earn Credit Link to automatically assign credit to your school.
- Can be paid for by credit card and shipped directly to the customer.
Read our detailed comparison of Group and Individual Orders.
- Decide whether to place a Group Order or ask families to place Individual Orders—many schools do both! Read the detailed comparison. No matter how you participate, children will benefit!
- Choose a Coordinator/Contact Person (parent, teacher, staff member, etc.). Choose someone with good organizational skills and a lot of enthusiasm!
- Order FREE For Small Hands catalogs to distribute to your families. You may also distribute links to our eCatalog and website electronically, but schools that distribute the paper catalogs tend to earn more credit.
NEW! Read advice from past participant schools—some of whom earned more than $500 in credit!
