How to Integrate Montessori at Home

Welcome to my Montessori at Home for Parents page! 

I discovered Montessori when I began researching school options for my oldest son. It was an article about Dr. Maria Montessori. I remember the moment, sitting at my laptop as my son napped one overcast afternoon.

I realized immediately that Dr. Montessori’s philosophy is exactly how I was raised by my mother. The Montessori theory more than resonated with me. It made sense to me. It seemed second nature to me. Getting certified seemed a natural next move. Soon I began a Montessori training program and applying the Montessori method in our home. 

Montessori ideals make children more engaged and inquisitive while also encouraging a lifetime love of learning without making them feel forced to learn.

Why Montessori?

Through the Montessorian Method, children acquire the traits of:

  • Responsibility
  • Self Regulation
  • Initiative
  • Independence
  • Confidence

Using the Montessori principles in your home and daily life works wonders on promoting challenging, self-paced, and joyful learning! Plus there are the added benefits of an independent and confident child who leads his own development. How powerful is that?

As you continue on this Montessori journey, remind yourself to be patient. Changing behavior and integrating a different philosophy on how you’re going to manage your home and be a family will take time.

Frustration will present itself but you will also have triumphant moments. Celebrate and honor those moments, as fleeting or as defining as they may be.
