MONTESSORI AT HOME
Ways to incorporate the Montessori philosophy into your home
Organize Your Environment
​
"A place for everything and everything in its place"
teaching them to be responsible for their belongings and clean up messes they may make
parents are also encouraged to rotate their children's toys and books every few weeks
Store clothing, snacks, drinks, toys, etc, where children can reach and be independent.
​
​
2. Emphasize Life Skills
​
younger children are perfectly capable of learning to water plants, feed pets, wipe the table after a meal and pick up their toys
​
Independence in dressing themselves, packing their backpack, etc.
​
​
3. Teach Concentration
​
Identifying what they are interested in and setting them up with the materials and space they need to explore it more thoroughly
​

4. Focus on Inner Motivation, Not Rewards
