I feel like allowing kids to pour their own glass of water whenever they want makes them feel so independant. I know kids who get so incredibly frustrated waiting for their parents to get them a drink. Such unnecessary stress.
Amazing Montessori home tour!! I don’t have kids yet but I definitely plan to follow this plan of education and this is exactly how I want to set up my home! xx
It's just a trundle bed that I bought! Yes it adds beauty, but I found it not so safe for baby who is starting to crawl. The purpose of the floor bed is for a baby to get in and out as soon as she is able. While moving around it, she can bump in to the hard wooden frame.
I have 2 girls (3 years &9months old), a bed room for all of us, a bathroom, a kitchen and a small varanda. We also have rooftop. Can you please give me an idea to organise my room for my babies.
This is really admirable. Thanks for sharing the video. Can you tell me more about potty training at 16 months ? How was she able to give you queues at such a young age ?
My brother [who is 30] used to cry and have a tantrum at 18 months when he needed to void his bowels and he was wearing a nappy, as soon as you took it off and put him on the potty he would quieten down. It is worth noting that he spent a few hours every day without a nappy whilst at home [from birth]. He was used to weeing in a potty, and the garden....XD
Of course!!! Free play is the best!For example, we have wooden pieces of blocks that my girls constantly building (train, castle, farm playground etc..)
I run a home daycare and find the toy situation a nightmare! If I put things nicely out on shelves , the kids just come and dump everything on to the floor! They don’t seem to play with anything, even in a different way to which the toy is intended. They just dump it all out and move onto the next thing to dump out 🤔
Dumping it out is really normal, especially in the toddler and preschool years! Try minimizing how much is in the basket or tray so what they dump doesn't become a big mess. Also, only have out what everyone can handle to clean up. Hope that helps :-)
From what I've understood you'll need to babyproof the entire room for them, in order to do this. Also a babygate in the doorway can help so you can leave your baby in the safe room with the door open but the gate closed. This might help when the baby/child doesn't want the door to be closed (and you don't want to lock your child up). The advantage of this method I find is that babies can wake up and roll/crawl out their bed themselves and start to quietly play instead of needing to cry/scream for their parents. Also during the day you have a safe space for them to play when you need to get things done and they are still able to crawl around the room (in contrast to a smaller playpen).
Thank you for the video, I wanted to ask you about the mattress, I like this idea, but there are 2 questions: is it safe (to sleep on the floor on the mattress in winter, because it is much colder air down, some people scary me that a baby can catch a cold). Another question is when baby start rolling, again can he/she fall down and hurt himself/herself?
There are bed frames that lift the mattress off the floor to protect the floor but still keeping the bed at a safer level for a child. Also, these floor beds have sides so the child will not fall out of bed. If your home is properly heated and cooled your child will be comfortable. It is a myth that people get sick from temperatures (unless extreme temperatures which cause hypothermia etc). People get sick from germs.
My son would throw snacks everywhere and pour drink on the carpet. I've been working so hard to get him to put toys back where they belong on the shelf but he always ends up throwing them across the room and I have to take them away. Is it that only some kids are successful in this?? Its very frustraigting
Do you mind sharing which high chair brand is the one your daughter was using in this video? I’m looking for a high chair my daughter could get in and out by herself
tokkibunni we are just starting and taking it one step at a time. We introduced a weaning glass during dinner (we follow babyled weaning otherwise). We also created some little shelves for our son in our living room (we emptied out two shelves in our bookcases). Just try a couple of things out!
Ever wonder what the world’s most successful person looked like when they first started? Like beginners.No one - and I mean no one - has it all figured out at the starting gate. Running the race is how you learn and grow. That’s why you must start before you’re ready.Starting before you’re ready means developing a bias towards action.Let me now how I can help at jaejun@bellascasa.com
I am a parent of a 6 year old who is now attending elementary school and has been for the last 3 years. She was born a 34 weeks and has some developmental delay, but not so mush that can prevent her from learning. My trouble is, now that she is in the 1st grade, she doesn't engage in her classwork. I honestly believe she becomes bored with the method of learning in her classroom. I honestly believe after reading about Montessori methods, she will be more engaged due to her love of doing things through touch. Should I set up this learning method at home, to assist her with her learning at school, or just home-school her through Montessori? Thoughts?????
At such a young age, I would keep her at school in the hope that even though she appears to not be interacting with her peers that she is watching how it is all done. I would use your own methods at home to try and get her up to speed and then in front of her classmates.
Homeschooling is a great way to encourage hands on learning. Look into homeschoolers out there on Instagram and I’m sure you will find inspiration and courage to start your own homeschooling journey! Join homeschooling Facebook groups and you will feel so empowered! You’ll find that many parents with special needs kids actually do homeschool and their kids turn out to do better than traditionally schooled kids! Good luck momma!
I dont have kids yet, currently one in the uterus, but I now cringe when I see kids that are 4 years old and the parents still feed them and fight with them to take a bite.
Your home is beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing. Lots of great ideas! :)
Great tour! No kids yet, but we are definitely Montessori fans. I love getting ideas!
I like the WAY you realised your ideas!
I feel like allowing kids to pour their own glass of water whenever they want makes them feel so independant. I know kids who get so incredibly frustrated waiting for their parents to get them a drink. Such unnecessary stress.
You are right! Such unnecessary stress!I have written a blog post about how to create WATER STATION/POURING.Check it out! bellascasa.com/?p=1089

This is genius!
Very informative video I'm also Montessori directress
I love getting ideas. I am montessori fans. Like, +1, Rtb.
Thank you for your video, so much useful information!
Love this! Please share how you framed out the floor bed. I want to frame my son's out to add beauty to the space, but not sure how to start.

I have a in home childcare and I am trying to find spaces to allow more independence. Thank you for the ideas.

What happens when you have other kids who visit that don’t do Montessori?
They likely get to learn more at her house 😉
The kids are very respectful if you treat them respectfully. I tell them two things. 1. Have lots of fun 2. Play one thing at a time and put away!😊
Most two-year-olds I know would have all things pulled all over the floor . How do you stop this happening ?
very simple....start with a few activities at a time and show your two-year-old how to put them back. Consistency is a key!
This is really admirable. Thanks for sharing the video. Can you tell me more about potty training at 16 months ? How was she able to give you queues at such a young age ?

May I ask what brand is your climbing toddler s high chair? I like the wide base and foot plate for support. Many thanks!
where do you buy the black and white trays? also where do you buy the furniture?
Wonderful video!
Impressive
Great video! Where can I find those blocks? Thank you.
It will be soon available at bellascasa.com
Hi! Amazing video! I love the display of your montessori home! I like the high chair, could please tell me the brand please?
Gracias por compartirlo abrazos
Do you incorporate music into your lessons?
Amazing!
I have a question, is not there any possibility kids play free play besides the directed play for learning?
Of course!!! Free play is the best!For example, we have wooden pieces of blocks that my girls constantly building (train, castle, farm playground etc..)

Just simply create the whole room safe!

That’s a svan. We had it for a while- eventually replaced it with an oxotot high chair. I think there are many brands that work well for that.
Do you not think the blind string is a bit to long not really not safe to have that long
It's so hard to get started. So stressful...
