Let's talk about real Montessori, what it looks like in the everyday home, debunk myths, and make it work for YOUR family! Hi everyone, I'm Maria -- a first-time mom navigating motherhood and an international family while also introducing the Montessori principles to my daughter.
I fell in love with the Montessori method through my mom, who owns and directs a Montessori school. After being at her side through the accreditation process and helping at the school, I saw all that Montessori could do and knew that one day, I would want this for my children as well. And with the cards life has dealt us in 2020, I have the chance to also implement Montessori at home, as I transitioned to being a stay-at-home mom.
Join in on the journey through parenthood, implementing Montessori at home, and raising a (now) toddler to be multilingual. You can find Montessori, motherhood, and child care videos on my channel, as well as some vlogs to share how we balance it all!

MONTESSORI LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT 0-3 YEARS! Montessori At Home Language Activities & Progression
Montessori at Home Language Development Progression and Montessori Language Activities for Newborns, Infants, and Toddlers! Focusing on Montessori oral language development, let's discuss the progression of infant language development into toddler language development, while also taking a look at the Montessori language materials for infants and toddlers that we can bring into our home.
While this is not a complete overview of the entire Montessori language curriculum, I hope the language development progression and Montessori activity ideas outlined in this video provide you the knowledge and inspiration you need to create a home with rich language learning opportunities for your child. Remember that so many of these Montessori language materials can be DIYd, thrifted, rented, or found on a budget!
Whether you're a monolingual or a multilingual home, a Montessori home or not, the natural progression of language development will generally hold true. Remember to always observe your child, their interests and unique development when decididng which language development activities to present to them next!

Yeh number box Apny kidy sy buy Kia can you please let me know
Question: How old was your toddler when posted this? Asking because I have 2yo toddlers. Wondering if they can do some of these.
Around 2.5 but as with everything Montessori, it's not at all about the age and completely about the child's readiness and interest. Some of these could be used earlier, some I use variations of in my 3-6 classroom still!
Thank you! That really helps
I have a 24 month old, and have been wanting to teach her my mother tongue, however I've struggled with knowing when to introduce it. This is definitely a goal for 2025, her grandparents on either side don't speak English and now that she's speaking fairly well they have a difficult time communicating with her. Thank you for your insight and information, I'm taking notes 😊😊
Hope this helps in your journey! That was our main decision factor in choosing to raise her trilingual!
Hello, does the mini actually play offline (out and about) without having the cards inserted? I have not seen this work. I also have not been able to stream from the app on my phone to the mini unless the mini is connected to WiFi
çok güzel bana örnek oldu kendi kızımla oynarım 😃😍
Hi, where did you find those animal pictures? Thank you in advance 🙏🏻
I made them!
@ would you mind to share the pictures you have made?
They were just google images of the exact animals we used at that time. I have made quite a few since then that i may put onto Teachers Pay Teachers
I feel like a bad mum after watching this video :/
The point is to take away some ideas and implement what is applicable for your child. We all learn from somewhere
Great!
Curious if you have shortened the legs on the Flisat table ? If yes, where would you recommend to get alternative/shorter legs?
We braille labeled the top of the cards because it's great for blind users with the limited buttons.
Восхищение и вдохновение ❤
I love the last activity with the family photos. (:
Excellent ideas thank you 😊
Where do you buy a nuggett ?
Nugget.com !
Brilliant video
What age would you start this with?
Late to the video but where did you get the bunny?
It was a gift and I haven't been able to find something similar honestly!
❤❤
At what age should kids start doing all this?
This is wonderful How old is she? We just finished the makeover of IKEA kitchen for our 18 months old. Can’t wait to reveal it to him
She was right around 2.5 years old here!
I read somewhere that the yoto mini can still be used as an okay to wake clock. Is this true?
At least the one we have definitely can't- it doesn't have the lights around it the way the original does and there's no programming option in the app for it
Thank you for these great ideas. I am excited to try some new games with my toddler. But I am wondering sometimes: my toddler doesn't want to try things on his own. He gives me items into my hand and points to where it should go, but doesn't want to do it on his own. I try to encourage him to do it on his own, like puzzle pieces or building a tower - I know he can do it, but he prefers me to do it instead. Why is he doing that? My guess is he gets easily frustrated when things are a bit challenging? Is that normal? 🤔
Hi! I just came across your account and I absolutely LOVE your content. So refreshing to see "real" Montessori content on TH-cam to get some inspiration for my soon to come baby :) I see that you're multilingual; I was wondering if you raise your child bilingual, or with various languages? I am looking to raise mine bilingual and am wondering what's the best way to go about it when it comes to books we read etc! <3
Yes we are raising her trilingual! Russian, Korean, and English. I have a few videos I made on this topic as well 🥰 Multilingual Home: th-cam.com/play/PLEBf4xnldSqB7CTdFr9ZeuG2se6c2s5Sp.html
My baby girl is 18months and we just got her a play kitchen that’ll I’ll be converting to a functional kitchen! ❤ Your video was very helpful!! Thank you! ❤🎉
Do people really say all these things? I can’t imagine that
All from comments I had gotten on various platforms yup
@@MariaandMontessori wow. 😮 I am sorry to heat that people say this to you. When I see videos like yours, I think this type of child activity should only be encouraged. I guess i shouldn’t expect that everyone reads books on child development.
Where did you get the headphone and the music box tingie
Amazon for the headphones! www.amazon.com/shop/mariaandmontessori Music box is a Yoto
Yes!!! Please make a video about teaching your child to write and read in 2 languages! My daughter is 3 and she speaks Russian really good, but now it's time to introduce her to writing and reading. We live in the US and she hears English in public, she doesn't speak it yet, and WE'RE GOING TO BE HOMESCHOOLING. How do I as a mom teach her to speak, read, and write in two languages? AT HOME. BY MYSELF. Very good and informative video! Thank you so much for sharing!
Hi, I just got a yoto for my son! Im trying to upload korean audio files onto the card Is there any website you recommend to download the korean files?
Where can I buy this?
Ikea!
Love these ideas! Just subscribed ❤
I believe you have one of the best Montessori channels on TH-cam. Thanks so much for the amazing ideas presented in a concise, visual manner.
Where did you get that kitchen.
It's the ikea play kitchen that my husband and I revamped. I have a few videos on that
@@MariaandMontessorioh so fancy!! Wow!
How do you help your little one not eat the beads
At 30 months she was far from the mouthing stage and knew what is food/can be put in her mouth and what cannot. We had these talks constantly since she was about 1.
Your videos definitely gave me some ideas :), thanks.
I added crinkle paper to the tissue box and it became one of my sons favorites
My 19 month old can't do any of this 😢
These aren't milestones or benchmarks. They're ideas that could work at this age but every child develops at their own pace and would need to build up skills first 😌
Can you please share the link for the shelf?
Its just the Ikea Kallax shelf!
Hi! Thanks for sharing your view on toddler toys. Can you explain more in detail about the YOTO player and how you can add audio/music of different languages? I am having trouble finding that option on their website.
Came to see what you had to say for 28m and on but you haven't posted in a year. Hope all is well! Miss your content!
I really want one because there really cute I’m going to ask my mom to bring my toy kitchen up tomorrow evening and buy the fake sink myself. I may ask my aunt to buy the mini fridge. Or my mom. This kitchen idea is super cute tho!
How do the child access the instruments? Do the teacher tell the instructions? What the teacher do?
This is just our home, our daughter's playroom. She was always able to reach these-the shelf is her height. But it is based on how a Montessori class is set up. We still have short shelves and materials that the children can access independently. The guides g8ve presentations to show how to use the materials
The CPSC just issued a safety recall on these, the lithium battery can overheat and cause a burn or fire.
On the mini, yes. I received notice from Yoto just now. They're offering a different cable to charge to safe levels.
Man I’m really trying to find the time and balance between work and life to do these things daily with my son! It’s such a blessing to the moms and families who have the support and time to do these things as often as daily with their children! People hate what they don’t understand or can’t comprehend! Hella inspiring to a single mom!
Where did u buy all your toys
Everything is linked in the description!
Do you have recommendations on how to spot a true montessori elementary class? Like 1st thru 3rd?
How old was she here? I love this thank you for the inspiration
I love this ❤ wish I had this space, I currently have a very small living room connected to our kitchen harder to come out with ideas but this def helped
Bought the bear puzzle! Can’t wait to get it
How old is your baby girl in this video?
The ages in the title are always based on her age in these clips, so here she was 14 months and 15 months 🙂 I think it's important to see the dexterity (and sometimes lack thereof) with which she did these activities!
