Live tour of a Montessori toddler classroom in Amsterdam

Want to get some inspiration to include Montessori in your home? Have a look around our classroom in this Facebook Live tour. This is perfect if you want to:
* see how we set up our snack area for the toddlers to make their own snack
* admire our climbing wall, cosy cube and music + movement activities
* get a glimpse into our practical life area where the children arrange flowers, clean windows and more
* peek into our book corner where we curl up with our favourite books
* be inspired by our art and craft area, set up so the children can create with very little assistance
* learn more about the language activities we provide for toddlers
get an overview of the variety of eye-hand coordination activities in my classroom, and
* experience the inviting and cosy ambience of our space

I love your classroom ! Definitely how I want my future classroom to look like as well as my home .

[@Themontessorinotebook]

Thank you. Glad it's inspiring for your home and would be lovely to set up a classroom too!

The chairs are beautiful! And the climbing wall is my fave!

[@jactreemontessori]

Thank you. We love those chairs too and the climbing wall is always in use. Uses every muscle in their body :)

I went to a Montessori preschool in Australia (I’m 19 now). One day when I have kids I definitely want to have some of these activities set up. This was an awesome video, thank you for sharing :) x

[@Themontessorinotebook]

I think you are very lucky to have gone to a Montessori preschool. And great that you are interested in Montessori if you ever have children. Have a lovely day!

[@svitlanaivanenko9042]

Loved this so much! Thanks for posting it on KZbin too

[@Themontessorinotebook]

Yes, easier to find for referring back to it. Glad you enjoyed it. So fun to show you all around virtually ;)

I wish you were in southern NJ. I’d consider it an honor for my child to learn at this wonderful place.

[@Themontessorinotebook]

Thank you for your kind comment. I love working in this space with these children so much!

I’ve been trying to get some Montessori shelf videos up on my channel too. You make this look so beautiful.

[@Themontessorinotebook]

Glad you enjoyed the video. All the best with your work. Keep spreading the Montessori love.

Hi from New Jersey

[@jaclyn8614]

Your classroom is beautiful! Wow only 12 children that's really nice, and they have 2 rooms! I'm a toddler teacher and we usually have 21 but we have 15 and the rest doing distance learning. I just moved from infants to toddlers so I'm still setting up my classroom. Its taking time, but I would love it to look like yours.

[@jactreemontessori]

It's a parent-child program so with 25 of us it's pretty full. Good luck setting up your class.

[@belenvaqueiro3612]

I am planning on opening a mini montessori at home day care and if you have any imput on some basic spaces I could have in a limited space please I would love to hear from you!! I love your work!! You inspire me so so much!!

[@Themontessorinotebook]

There are also lots of blog posts about the different areas of my classroom on the blog. Hope you get lots of ideas from this video too!

[@mkain006]

Such a lovely space! I absolutely love your food prep area! I also had a question about one of your puzzles. Who makes the circle and square fraction puzzle? I love the control of error that is built into this puzzle vs. others on the market.

[@jactreemontessori]

Thanks for your kindness. The puzzle is from Kid-O in New York. It was purchased over 5 years ago so I'm not sure if it is currently available.

[@tatianabobeica1537]

Thank you for much for this awesome video. Unfortunately, there is no Montessori school in my country, thus I would like to purchase some of the materials for home use. Do you have any specific online store you use to purchase the toys? Many thanks

[@Themontessorinotebook]

I have some of my favourite places to find materials here: www.themontessorinotebook.com/free-resources/. Hope it helps!

[@thebluedot4728]

oh man. I would love to work there.

[@jactreemontessori]

thank you. that's very kind. maybe start one!

[@fourseasonsnotebook1767]

Hi thank you so much for sharing this video this is so inspiring. I'm moving to the Netherland this summer and I want to be a montessori teacher. Do you have any recommendation ? How didi you start ? Thank you !

[@Themontessorinotebook]

Exciting about your move! If you speak Dutch then you can follow a teaching degree in the Netherlands with a specialism in Montessori. If you only speak English then unfortunately there is only one English speaking Montessori school I know of in Pijnacker. You could contact them to see what training you would need. Good luck!

[@janinevasiliou6665]

I love this is your book available on amazon to the UK? can you recommend any courses online for homeschooling mothers like myself and any curriculums created to follow? Im a beginner and abit lost where to start, I can get printable materials but I don't know whats best to teach first etc.. other than the setup of the home and toys.. do you do toy rotations their and any theme display tables?

[@Themontessorinotebook]

Hi Janine, I hope that my book will be on Amazon in the future. At the moment the only place to purchase is via my website. You may be interested in Carrots are Orange courses for homeschooling Montessori-style. I do rotate the toys from time to time but not so much theme display tables. Hope that helps!

[@brittanyplath9414]

Love the rock climbing wall! Can you please post the dimensions and instructions?

[@Themontessorinotebook]

Sorry - I don't have any instructions as I had someone build it for me. It's a standard sheet of plywood with grips from Amazon. Good luck!

[@pinkbluemaybe2]

Where did you get the cozy cube from?

[@Themontessorinotebook]

Hi - I had a carpenter build it from a picture I saw on Pinterest. Hope this helps!

[@joyisrawrsome]

Where are your shelves from?

[@Themontessorinotebook]

I had them built and painted them white - they are 120cm L x 40 cm H x 30 cm D if you'd like to make some :)

[@pgonzaga6681]

What’s the ideal height of the tables and chairs? 😊
