Montessori Today

Hi! My name is Ivy. I am a mother of three and an enthusiastic teacher at home. I love Montessori and completed the formal AMS teacher training program before.

My dream is to support all families in bringing the joy of learning into everyday life.

✨ Montessori matching touch tablets are a wonderful way to build sensory awareness, focus, and confidence through hands-on exploration. Children feel and compare different textured tablets, then match them by touch alone—strengthening fine motor skills, language, and concentration in a calm, playful way. It’s amazing to see how much joy and learning can come from something so simple and tactile! 💛🌱

👂✨ Today, our children began their Montessori sound exploration with the first set of sound boxes! In this peaceful activity, they focused on simply listening — shaking one box at a time and noticing the unique sounds each one makes. This gentle introduction helps develop auditory awareness, concentration, and a sense of calm curiosity. It’s a beautiful reminder that learning begins with careful attention to the world around us — one sound at a time. 🎶🌟

Looking for a fun and hands-on way to help your child build confidence with multi-digit addition? 🌟 The Montessori Stamp Game is a wonderful next step after working with Golden Beads.

While Golden Beads give children a concrete, tangible experience of units, tens, hundreds, and thousands, the Stamp Game helps them take an important leap toward abstraction—using simple color-coded tiles to represent numbers instead of physical beads.

This shift gently guides your child to internalize place value and operations at a deeper level, while still keeping learning playful and engaging. 🧩✨ If you’re teaching Montessori at home, introducing the Stamp Game can be a joyful way to see your child’s math understanding grow before your eyes!
