So how can you encourage their…
🕵️Natural curiosity
🙋‍♀️Autonomy
💡Growth mindset
…At home?

Take a little inspiration from and watch them continue to flourish.
Here are some tips:

🌍ɢɪᴠᴇ ᴛʜᴇᴍ ꜰʀᴇᴇᴅᴏᴍ
Dr. Maria Montessori said, “A child needs freedom within limits.”
The Montessori classroom—or Prepared Environment—is spacious, uncluttered, and safe to explore.
As soon as they can crawl, allow your child space to roam (using baby gates and other child-proofing safety measures) to encourage their curiosity, confidence, and gross motor skills.

🪑ᴜꜱᴇ ꜰᴜʀɴɪᴛᴜʀᴇ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ꜰɪᴛꜱ
Copy the and furnish your child’s spaces with chairs, tables, shelves, and drawers designed for their size and ability. When they can easily reach their own books or craft supplies and have a comfortable work space, they feel empowered, stay engaged longer, and start taking responsibility for their belongings.

👉ʟᴇᴛ ᴛʜᴇᴍ ꜰᴏʟʟᴏᴡ ᴛʜᴇɪʀ ɪɴᴛᴇʀᴇꜱᴛꜱ
When they have the freedom to explore their inviting environment, your child can choose their own activities and tune into their passions. allow students to follow their interests and immerse in tasks that inspire them.
You can encourage their imagination with open-ended play or loose-parts activities, like building blocks. Watch their creativity blossom!

🧹ɢᴇᴛ ᴛʜᴇᴍ ɪɴᴠᴏʟᴠᴇᴅ
Dr. Montessori observed that children are fascinated by the “works” of adults. When they show an interest in cooking or cleaning, let them help. Give them a child-sized broom, have them wash the salad, make sorting laundry a game. By involving them in your tasks, you’re sowing the seeds of practical skills that will serve them for life.

👩‍🎨Whether they’re drawing, painting, crafting, or sculpting…
…Your child reaps huge benefits from their artistic explorations.

Art builds imagination, self-expression, and cognitive connections.
And in the Montessori classroom, your child immerses in open-ended creative activities, which foster problem-solving skills and critical thinking.

So, how can you also support those vital skills at home?

🌈𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀
Designate a space for arts and crafts materials: not only paints and crayons but recycled boxes, dry pasta, Q-tips, colored paper… A selection. Let your child know they have access when they want so they can create whenever they’re inspired.

💭𝗘𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴
Ask your child what they’re going to make. Building a mental picture before starting a project develops critical thinking skills. They might change the plan as they work, and that’s fine! It’s all part of the process.

🤔𝗟𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲
When they get started, leave them to it. Maria Montessori said, “The child who concentrates is immensely happy,” and we practice non-interference in the Prepared Environment. When your child is immersed in their creative process, they can try, fail, discover, and grow.

🗣️𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁
If they want to show you their work, ask open-ended questions and focus on the process rather than the product, so they build vocabulary around art-making as well as their actions and intentions.

𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮, 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧:
Something as simple as peace and quiet with a pencil and paper works untold wonders.
As they scribble and doodle, creating shapes and pictures, they:
💭Exercise their imagination
🤏Build fine motor skills they need for writing, buttoning, and tying
🧘‍♀️Self-soothe and discover a way to regulate their emotions

Have fun!

Sensory play is a pretty familiar term in preschools these days. But it’s been central to the Montessori Method for over a century.

🗝️It’s even 1 of the 5 Key Areas of Montessori Learning.

Children start experiencing the world through their senses from birth. Dr. Maria Montessori knew that allowing children to explore experiences helps them make sense of their surroundings, organize their thoughts, and adapt to new situations.

The Prepared Environment guides your child through lots of sensorial activities every day.

📏They learn to recognize differences in dimension, length, and width using the pink tower and number rods.
👚They discern textures as they feel their way around Fabric Squares.
🔔They refine their listening skills by working with Sound Cylinders.

All the while, your child builds the awareness that helps them navigate the world and explore new ideas with confidence.

The best part? Sensorial activities are easy to set up at home. Here are some ideas:

🌿𝙎𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙉𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙨
Head out on a walk to see what you can see, hear, feel, smell, and—if it’s safe—taste. Make it a game, like “I Spy,” but with all your senses, and watch your child refine each one.

🌻𝙊𝙗𝙟𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙎𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜
While you’re nature walking, gather natural treasures. Lay them out for your child to organize. Separate stones from leaves; arrange sticks in order of length; rank flowers in order of sweet-smellingness. Your child immerses in the order and logic of the activity.

🪙𝘽𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙏𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚
After they’ve broken them out of the ice, bury your child’s toys in the sandbox. They can use different tools, including their hands, to feel for, identify, and dig them out.

With a strong foundation built on sensorial exploration, your child builds awareness and adaptability that will serve them in all sorts of future situations.

It’s never too early to start setting them up for success. And who knew it could be so fun?!
That’s the !

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Both my daughter and my son attend the academy and I have nothing but amazing things to say. During their time, the exceptional teachers and administrators have fostered my children’s independence and given them a true sense of self through love, encouragement and the belief that every child is different. They communicate honestly with me and I never am concerned about my children while in their care.

They encourage my children to use their words, to explore their passions and never be scared to try new things. They lead the children with so much love and honesty. My children come home everyday proud of what they have done at the Academy. There is a true community and the teachers at the school are truly the most amazing women that enrich my family’s life.” - Jeannie A.

🕒 Play time, bed time, or dinner time?

This brings 🏡 one of the most important practical life skills… 𝗧𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲!

✅This at-home, hands-on learning activity helps your child become a master time-teller for 3 specific reasons:

1️⃣ 𝙎𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙋𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙙𝙨
Doctor Maria Montessori discovered that your child is most capable of learning knowledge and skills during very early stages of their life — called 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗱𝘀. Thanks to repetition, the need for concentration, the focus needed with this clock DIY, your child takes advantage of this crucial developmental stage in their learning.

2️⃣𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙘 𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣
The Montessori approach to education is that learning is your child’s own reward. No gold stars, stickers, or candies for a job well done, your child enjoys the satisfaction of an accomplishment they’ve attained. Watch your child’s eyes light up and their smile grow when they learn to tell the time all on their own.

3️⃣ 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙭𝙩
It’s one thing to be told something, but it’s an entirely new world when they do it themselves. A is known for learning by doing. Your child spins the hands on the clock, flips up the folds, and manipulates the object to immerse themselves in true hands-on learning.

🤗Don’t be shy to stand by while your little one learns to offer encouragement, smiles, and support. Your warm energy will keep their spirits up, their interests engaged, and their brains stimulated.
