In A Montessori Home in a child's hands
Sarah Moudry on preparing a home for a child from birth to three, published by NAMTA. 36 pages, soft cover, 2008 edition, with photographs taken in real homes rather than staged ones, and a parent resource guide at the back for choosing toys, clothing and furniture that fit the principles. It is short by design: the useful part is the photographs, because most parents can copy a room they can see far more easily than they can build one from a description.
Environment Preparation
Guides parents in creating spaces that promote independence and self-directed learning from birth.
Movement Development
Shows how to arrange homes to support gross motor development and freedom of movement.
Practical Life Skills
Demonstrates setting up areas for real, purposeful activities appropriate for infants and toddlers.
Parent Education
Deepens understanding of child development and Montessori principles for the crucial first three years.
How to present it
Begin by reading one room section completely, then observe your child's current movement patterns and challenges in that space for 2-3 days.
- 1Start with the entrance area - create a low hook at child's shoulder height and place a small bench or stool
- 2Assess the bedroom using the book's guidelines - lower artwork to child's eye level and ensure floor bed or low bed access
- 3Reorganize one kitchen cabinet at child's height with real dishes and utensils sized appropriately
- 4Create a care-of-self station in the bathroom with accessible mirror, towel, and washing supplies
3 tips for parents
- Make changes gradually - transform one area every two weeks to avoid overwhelming your child
- Involve your child in the reorganization process, explaining the purpose of each change
- Document your home's transformation with before-and-after photos to track progress
