I just LOVE your videos. I only wish there was one that showed the children interacting with the materials in the room. I know this is impossible with filming children but I’m so intrigued to see the space in action. Thank you so much for the video, you’re my Montessori inspiration 😍

Yes, it's so beautiful to see Montessori classrooms in action. I might have to ask a group of parents to come on a weekend who would be happy to have their child filmed. Have you seen the new French film about Montessori? There is a beautiful trailer with lots of footage of children doing Montessori.

I am about to begin a position in a new Montessori infant and toddler program. From past experience in various ECE settings, I observed how the younger children ( generally from 12 to 20 months old) naturally mouth just about any objects especially when they are teething. I would so appreciate your take on that and how you navigate this in your environment.
@Themontessorinotebook7 ай бұрын
The young ones need to mouth things to explore as this is the most sensitive part of their body. Around 14 months, I show the child what the material is for and this is usually more interesting. If they teeth it, we can sanitise it, but there is not usually a lot of children teething at the same time. For small parts, we may need to find a container that the younger ones cannot open.

Hi there! I’m an administrator for a small infant/toddler child development center in the States. I was wondering how you keep the children from being too destructive with the activities? I saw the screw driver for the fine motor bolt activity & I’m not sure even our 2 year olds are ready to play with those. We have a 1:4 staff-child ratio, so 2 staff for 8 toddlers. Any advice? Is this set up realistic for free play or do you usually have the children sit at tables/ mats? Thank you! Beautiful video!
@jactreemontessori5 жыл бұрын
We have mixed age toddlers so the older ones are modelling for the younger ones as well as us providing support if needed. The younger ones may already be interested, we show them that we sit at the table to use sharp objects and where to return things when they are done. Hope this helps.

This is wonderful. Do you recommend any good books about Montessori and setting up montessori at home? Also do you follow a montessori curriculum? where do you get your supplies? I want to set up montesori at home but I don't know where to start as there is an abundance of information online. I want to start off simple any advice? Supplies for montessori are expensive so any advice on that would be greatly appreciated. Great channel and great videos thank you for making them.

Thank you so much for your kind comments and I hope the video gives you lots of inspiration. I actually wrote a book this year for parents to set up Montessori at home called "The Montessori Toddler". We have an online store Manine Montessori that can ship anywhere in the world and hopefully elsewhere online in 2019. Otherwise, "How to raise an amazing child the Montessori way" is a good starting point and "The Joyful Child" too. I follow the Montessori curriculum from my training with Association Montessori Internationale. And my supplies I hunt down from all over. My favourites are on my website here: www.themontessorinotebook.com/free-resources/. Hope this helps!

Amazing classroom.. thank you very much for sharing. Love it. I'm really enjoying your book at the moment. So much so that I can't wait for the release of your Montessori Child book too. I just wondered if the holds spacing on your climbing wall is suitable for 18 month olds? Also how is it attached to the wall? Lastly I've been looking for a cozy cube.. but I can't find one like yours anywhere? Thanks again and good luck with your future books.. exciting times.
@SimoneDavies4 жыл бұрын
The spacing of the holds will depend on the child's climbing ability. I have some 18 month olds practising, but good from 2+ years. The cozy cube was built by a local tradesman based off a picture I saw on Pinterest. It's 120cm x 120cm x 120cm made from plywood. And the same person hang the climbing wall. I'm not handy so I suggest you ask someone who is :)

And doesn't it sometimes distract them from working with Montessori materials?
@Themontessorinotebook5 жыл бұрын
Hi Mays, Fun that you are doing your AMI training. Movement is an important part of every child's development - just as important as working with the "Montessori materials" although I consider our gross motor area also as Montessori material. We follow the child and their energy - often they will work on some fine motor material or art and then need to move. Then they gradually flow back to other activities. We trust the child knows what they need in that moment. Hope this helps.
