How can my child's school Earn Free Materials?

You can help! Each time you place an order from the For Small Hands website or catalog during the promotion, your child's school can earn merchandise credit (similar to a gift certificate) when you record the school's customer number at the prompt. We will tally accumulated credits for the school; credit vouchers will be sent directly to the school in January 2009. Schools may redeem their 2008 merchandise credit vouchers until December 31, 2009, against any school order from the Montessori Services school website (www.montesssoriservices.com) or catalog, from the For Small Hands website (www.forsmallhands.com) or catalog, or from any other Montessori Services mailing or flyer.

How does it work?
  • During the online checkout process, you will be prompted to enter the school's customer number, name, address, and phone number. You must provide school information at the prompt to earn credit for your order.
  • Ordering from a printed catalog? Fill in the red-bordered box on the order form (page 27); you must provide the school information requested to earn credit for your order.
  • The school's customer number is the single most important detail we need to credit your child's school. If you don't know the school's customer number, we will be happy to look it up for you. Please don't hesitate to email promo@montessoriservices.com to request your school's customer number. Or phone us at 888-274-4003, M-F, 8-4:30 Pacific Time.
  • Anyone can credit your child's school! When family and friends get involved, even small schools can do very well. When you invite a friend or extended family member to credit your child's school, be sure to provide the school's customer number and all the school's address information.
