#montessori #montessoriathome #montessoritoddler
My daughter just started at a Montessori preschool and is loving it. Your morning routine is similar to ours. The only thing I need to work on is making a breakfast station for her to grab food and snacks on her own. Great advice!
I thought so too. The station is a great idea!
If I leave snacks where they can reach it forget about it, a weeks worth of snacks is gone in a matter of two days.
Every time I see your videos I think "will I be able to be as good as Ashley is at dealing with the little ones?" You really seem to have a natural gift ❤️
As a parent of 2 I can tell you now - NO, you definitely won't be (able to be as good as it looks in these videos)😆 Joke, don't take it too seriously, but..... parenting is H A R D😱
If you have two girls maybe. I have two boys and no it's not like on those videos ;-)
I truly believe in a Montessori approach from the start and when people ask me why my son can dress himself at 1 or enjoys the process of cooking and tidying I just say it is all down to respect for himself and his environment. Your videos have been an inspiration and an education in my parenting journey. People often make fun of my passion for Montessori and roll their eyes when I refer to it. (I really try not at all these days) it seems peoples opinions are so different to mine, like children should be ordered about, conform and act like soldiers at school. I just don’t know what to say to people any more.
Also, a mirror in your hand washing area would be awesome! I need a hand washing station in my son’s face wiping mirror area!
I'm dying to see a vlog or snapshot of Kylie in her new environment mingling, focusing, and just being her capable and confident self! She looks so grown up, hair all set, backpack zipped and shoes on ...she is all rested and raring to go. Do you find her any more tired than usual, perhaps after dinner? I'm very impressed with Mia dressing herself and doing the washing up. She is a bundle of energy. [They both are, so healthy and energetic not groggy or whiney like I've seen other kids. Your adherence to a healthy routine is obvious.] Do you need to ever say things like ''let's clean up and decide what to do next'', to keep the day sorta on track? Beautiful day for the children and mommy too!
It looks like the girls are able to help enough to take some pressure off of you. The various activities seem well-designed to allow you time with Mia and to let her do things alone. And Kylie appears to leave for preschool feeling she has been in some control of her morning.
Do you ever make suggestions on what to do in the mornings? Like when there was only 25 minutes before getting Kylie did you come up with the idea of playing with chalk outside or was every idea Mia’s?
Do you ever give suggestions on what the girls could do if they don’t know what to do or have no ideas? Or just let them figure it out for themselves each time?
Same questions!!!
My daughter also goes to a Montessori kindergarten, I’m so happy! Such a lovely morning routine, got some ideas to do at home. Thank you for the video!
I love how detailed you are ❤️ I have been here since the beginning, and it is so fun to see the girls grow up 🥰
You frequently transition with the phrase "and then she decided..." and I love it! I love how empowered she is to make her own choices, and they are good choices! One of my favorite things about the Montessori approach is the assumption that children are capable of making the right choices for them. I imagine that growing up that way would really build self confidence.
I'm trying to take this approach for my youngest. My older two are 12&14 and I have to admit that the parenting approach I tried before hasn't exactly gone the way I expected. You are an inspiration. Thank you for the videos x
what an amazing video!! Thank you for sharing your new morning routine. I agree with some of the comments you really are an inspiration, and we can see the results on your kids!
THANK you so much for posting this video’!
My 3yo son just started school and he is still adjusting. i am at home with my 1 yo baby boy. and 1 month pregnant. ❤️ so i am sooo greateful for sharing this School routine
Very glad to hear that Kylie enjoys her school life and Mia got lots of 1:1 time with mama! We have twin boys and they are a little over 2 years and 9 months old, not fully potty trained. We didn’t follow a strict Montessori curriculum, and they can not independently wear their shoes and wash hands. They haven’t been in any daycare and have limited social activities bc of the pandemic. They didn’t understand much English either. So, this Wednesday and Thursday we sent them to the Montessori school for the 1st time, and the teachers called us to pick them up early and said it was not easy day, then the principle called us that they would refund us everything bc our boys are in the ‘twilight zone’ (over toddlerhood but not yet preschooler…). They need a lot of 1:1 attention and support but the class don’t have such resources etc. long story short (already very long though), the principle recommend us to consider Primrose or Godard School… I just would like to hear some suggestions or thoughts from you for situations like ours. Thank you! Your vlog and videos always make me happy and relaxed.
Yay! So excited, I've been wanting this video for a while 🎉🎉😆😊❤️
It's so wonderful seeing them grow and become so independent.
You’re an incredible mum!
I would love to see your current supper/bedtime routines! (Yours and the girls’😊)
Love this so much! Kylie’s still bento snack box is so cute!
I’ve never clicked on a video faster!!! Thank you so much for your videos 🤍
Love love this thank you for sharing!
Hi Ashley, love your videos ❤️ please do a video on how you do lunch/dinner planning with the kids around. Do you have a meal plan set for the week? Love your patience around the kids and they are so organized and helpful 👏🏼🤩 Thank you 😊
Loved to see mia in major part of the video ❤️❤️ she is so so cute ❤️
I also have 2 girls, 3.5 yo and 1 yo now, and have been watching your videos since my older one was a baby, and throughout the pandemic. Just watch to say thank you, we are still getting a lot of value from your videos ❤
Love this
Such a great video! I have been following your videos and implementing things for my daughter who is 4. I also bought your course. Would you do a session on breakfast and snacks options for kids? Or link you can share if you have talked about it in your videos. Thanks so much! You are doing great work.
Great video again, thanks Ashleigh 🇬🇧👍
Awesome days with the girls 💗💗
I see you got the table and stool you were wanting to get 🎉 I'm not sure if you've already showed them in a vlog, but it's the first time I'm seeing them. They look really nice and the table seems much more spacious, glad you were able to buy them 😊❤️
That is such a great table! We have one for our toddler too.
The table looks awesome! I tried to search on google but I don’t know exactly what to type! Is this a specific brand? Your help is appreciated thanks!
@@nishienish26 it's the ikea flisat table
@@oliviaibriksz7355 thank you!
Love you! Love your videos! 🤍
Well done Kylie!
Mia climbing out of the giant new car! So precious! 😄👏🥰
I love the way you parent!! My husband and I work full-time though. Any tips for working moms?
Oh. My gosh. It was so adorable when your youngest was picking out her clothes and had her dress under her chin trying to find some other clothes!
Beautiful and thankyou for sharing
Can you please do a video on the set up you have going on for the girls to serve their own breakfast? I know it seems simple but I've been trying to figure this out for my oldest and just have no idea where to start or how it should be set up.
This one is completely separate but closer to the holidays, could you please elaborate on how you do Christmas? I know you've mentioned that you guys treat Santa as a "character" but HOW? lol like how do the girls go about enjoying Santa without believing? I'd love to see a week or day In the life around the holidays. 🙏
Yes I would also like to see a video with more detail in your breakfast/snack stations and your ha d washing station. Also, do you fit in time intentionally for yourself? If so, can you share how you navigate that too? Thank you 🙏🏽
Is there a video on what your quiet time routine looks like? This video was very helpful! We have a similar day with my preschooler and 1 yo, and I kept feeling like I wasn’t doing enough. Thank you for making it simple 😁
Love hand washing station. Good idea
Really like your hand washing station
I love Montessori education and ideas. My elder boy has been to a Montessori nursery but afterwards to a public normal and more traditional school ( where I live, in Spain, alternative education as Montessori and Waldorf are extremely expensive and I can't afford it more over now that I have two little ones )
We are walking to school, it's nearby and we live in the capital city. Nevertheless a lot of families here drive their kids to school
It just brings me so much joy to see your video. So glad that kylie loves school. Mia has got a good appetite! Bfast > mid snack part 1 > mid snack part 2 > lunch! Btw where did you get the chunky colourful chalks from?
They were a gift from someone, I think they found them at the Target dollar spot! 😜
Superb video
Keep posting like dis videos
You go!
I just wanted to say that I looks like your older girl might have curly hair! She might benefit from some curly hair products/practices. Something as simple as putting in leave in conditioner before brushing after a shower and some anti frizz could make a world of difference. I love your content and you are actually the reason I will be focusing on montessori when raising my children.
Inspired ❤💕💯
My daughter is just over 2.5 and we aren’t very Montessori but I’ve always been interested and have wanted to get her to be more independent. But I am in awe at how well your girls handle all of their daily tasks. I just know my girl would dump that cereal and milk all over the place. I don’t know how to get from here to there 🙁 we try so hard to practice and model. We don’t know how to get through to her it’s not a toy it’s food etc
Hi Ashley, I am following you from the begining and you inspired me a lot. Thank for your sharings. Do you think about new video playroom tour update? I will be great for new advices.
I would love tho see how you setup the fridge for them and what they can choose. I really endjoyd the video where you have maket the kitchen, so anothere video where you let see or give tips how to set up te fridge i would verry endjoj. And i can use it for my own toddler, he is just learning how to pack te lunchbox so some tips on how to set up te fridge or a snack station would be verry helpful. Or what you juse and enyoy.
Love this video!! Thanks so much for sharing! Two questions - do you have a video that shows how you made that handwashing station? We are looking to do something like that, and considered the IKEA kitchen hack for a working sink, but I really like yours! And does Mia still take a nap? You mentioned quiet time but I wasn't sure if that includes a nap at her age. Thanks!!
Love your videos. Where can I find that wooden fishing game?
So cute
Quick question! I'm a soon-to-be work-from-home mom. When do you fit in your work during weekdays? While The girls are doing independent activities? During nap times? During quiet times? Love your videos ❤️
Hii, thank you for your amazing videos! Where did you get the drawers in her bedroom?
Loved seeing mia alone in her own world... We got to see kylie due to her being the 1st child so to see mia by herself was adorable....
How is it when you need to awake them up? How do you manage to cook and organizing your house if you spend all morning playing with the girls? because it's easy to notice that you don't live in a small place. Do you only use packed food to feed them?
@@ivysanrum9546 when do u ever see her use packed food to feed them. They cook all ghw time.. U must be new because they dont film everyday snd im sure they do slot before pickimg up the camera life isnt just what you see on a video that hss been edited so much more goes on then shzt ix being showed...

Great video! Where did you get the fishing game? Also what brand of dollhouse and dolls do you have? I would like to get a dollhouse and dolls for my daughters 3rd birthday. Thanks so much 😊.
My daughter always wants to open the fridge but its hard when the whole bottom is the freezer. Alwells, we do what we can :D your girls are growing up so well.
Thank you for your video. How your 4 year old enjoying preschool and why is she doing just half a day would you consider a full one for her ? Thank you
excelente
I love seeing these! Do you or any other mamas here have advice for a child (almost 4) who struggles with sit down activities (especially those that I initiate, when I need to teach her how to do the activity)? My daughter mostly wants to play make believe with me anytime I try to get her going on independent activities.
As far as I have heard from Ashley, and as much as I have experienced with my 4 yr old, it's all about following your child's interests. .. I just put the activities and wait. If she isn't interested , I switch them over to different ones in a couple of days
Exactly. My 4 year old is full time in imaginative play. The whole day. And I let her do that. ❤️
Yes, it really is about following their interests. But you can also help guide her to whatever skill you're hoping to work on while still following her lead. It may be in doing the presentation in shorter bursts, or simply modeling the work in an excited way (fomo is very real with this age), or changing the work to be more aligned with her interests. So for example my girl was really into just running and climbing, liked animals but didn't want to sit still for a language basket activity. So I set up a little obstacle course with our Nuggey, hid the animals, gave her a basket, and started naming them. She had a blast! So I still accomplished the goal of the work, but did so by following her interests 😊
@@MariaandMontessori I love how creative you got for that activity! Maybe that’s what I’m missing, just being creative with following HER lead and not trying to make it look like Montessori.
@@drmahimapandit3728 that is comforting to know, thank you. What about when you get tired of playing make believe with her (if you do, I certainly do)? My daughter always wants me to pretend like a certain character.
This is really inspiring! Two questions please: 1) where can I get some more details about how to set up a hand washing station like yours?; and 2) any advice on how to help my toddler to accept that he is going to the kindergarten (I know, this is not as cool as a Montessori pre-school) while his baby sister is staying at home? We are really a long way from Mia’s smiling face, sadly
Your washing station is awesome! I've been this little wooden bench in a number of places but can't find it. Where did you get it? Ikea? Thanks I love your channel!
This one is from Manine Montessori! Here’s a link: www.manine-montessori.com/collections/all-products/products/montessori-hand-washing-station
Live this! Curious, what cereal container do you use? Looked an amazon store but didnt see. Thank you in advance 🙌💗
I don’t think I ever added them, sorry! They are these ones: amzn.to/3jCldjF
@@HapaFamily thank you so much! Love your channel 💗
I know it doesn’t have to do with Montessori, but have you read the book bringing up bébé by Pamela Druckerman? I just finished and I am very intrigued about it and how French people educate children. I think is kind of similar with RIE method. What amuse me the most is that French people do all this without reading 1000 books like me LOL 😆. Also French kids don’t snack, and they have four courses meals 😱. Usually our family eats 4 times a day, 3 big meals and just 1 snack and we never carry anything around 🤣, until know it has worked fine, I don’t know in the future when my toddler has friends.
Ashley - I love your videos, they are my "me-time" wind down when I put my 2 yo to bed :)
I love the hanging date / weather board you have at your entry way? Could I ask where you got it? I couldn't find it on your Amazon store front. Thank you!
It’s from one of the Lovevery 3 year old kits! :)
@@HapaFamily Thank you!! Have a wonderful Thursday!
Can you do a video on how you taught the girls to dress themselves and the tips/tricks they use. My son is 15 months old and I want to start now but he never seems super interested or gets frustrated if he can’t do it and I’m not sure how to teach him! I can’t remember seeing this in a video before.
I’d love that too!
I think she addressed it before. A lot to do with scaffolding skills so firstly just take out the pants from the drawer then when that's mastered put them on the ground, then put a leg into a hole while you hold it open so on an so on.
Also a huge tip is when you are getting them dressed stand behind them so your arms are almost an extension of them, they can observe positioning of hands etc.
Hope this helps!
Is Mia able to get into her chair at the table on her own? We have a Tripp Trapp and I'm trying to sort out how my little one could get into it safely on her own.
I would be interested in the game with a small swing and slide. did you buy it on the internet? Congratulations on the channel and thank you.
Hello. Could you please detailed how you monitor what they are watching on internet?
Thanks You ☺️
4:12 Mia putting on her glasses is so Boss-like, just so cute. 💛❤️ And i think it's the first time that I've seen a whole lot of Mia in your videos.
By the way, are the plates they're using the Kalas plates from ikea? ❤️❤️
The plates are actually a bamboo set of toddler plates and bowls I found on Amazon. :)
Do you have a link for her snack box? Thank you so much
I thought that was little Kylie running it at first, but that was Mia! I still can't get used to how big Kylie has gotten 😭 Do you know if the school had always had the students bring their own snack, or if it was implemented during the pandemic? I know with my mom's school she had to do the latter and the kids definitely miss their snack prep time 😔
(And kudos to Kylie on those socks and shoe skills! That IS something to be proud of 👏)
Yes, she puts them on very well 👏❤️
It’s only because of the pandemic. They normally do a group snack prep. :/ I’m bummed for her that she misses out on it this year!
And tips and tricks for learning how to tie shoes?
Great video! It's strange as someone from the UK that you guys have school staff so actively involved in getting the students to the school door, I never knew that was a thing! Would you consider all cycling to the school together once Mia is confident enough on a big girl bike?
Absolutely! Funny you should ask about that… it’s something we’ve been doing on Fridays… more on that in a future vlog. ;)
Montessori it's a private school. I don't think it's a service available for public kindergarden
What dollhouse do you have? I don’t think I’ve seen that in your videos before. My daughter wants one for Christmas!
I’m honestly not a huge fan of our dollhouse. We got it back before Mia was born because my hubby found it on sale… but if I were to buy one today, I’d buy a much different one 🤣 I just don’t have the heart to get rid of it because my girls like it… but it’s truly a hideous eyesore to me.. haha
Where do the cereal containers come from? I searched on your amazon storefront but couldn't find them :)
So sorry, I forgot to add them a while back! Here’s a link: amzn.to/3jCldjF
You are so lucky you school is so close. I’m debating if the 35+ minute commute is worth it for half day.
2 hours in a car seem so dreadful- no doubt the education aspect is worth it- but I specifically changed careers for no commute as I felt it was slowly killing me.
They don't offer longer schedules like half or full day? 35+ is definitely quite an investment of time..
I'm debating Montessori homeschooling because our closest Montessori school is 2 hours away. I would kill for a 35 minute drive! 😂 But yes, 2 hours of commuting is a big bite out of the day.
We do feel SUPER fortunate to have it so close by. That commute does sound rough for just a half day.. I would homeschool until the full day option is available (if I were in your shoes)… but I know everyone is different. 😬
❤️❤️❤️❤️
where can i get that snap button thing from?
How is Kylie enjoying school?! 🥰😆
Do you have any ideas on how to deal with mean kids or hurt feelings from school peers? It’s my biggest fear with sending my children to school
Great video! How do you like this 101 time with Mia? Do you miss Kylie? 😉
Always miss my big girl! Mia does, too. But we also enjoy the “mommy and Mia” time. :)
For how many hours a day she attends school?
Where is the fantastic washing station from ?
When do you do chores?
I just want to squeeze those sweet cheeks Mia has haha so adorable! My daughter and her are like a month apart. This video was encouraging I want to set up a hand washing station for my daughter and access to choose some snacks
What would you do with a toddler boy, who doesn't want to pick any of his clotes, or put them on? He puts his own shoes on, but nothing else. How could I help him be more independent?
What ipad is that? Amazon?
can i ask what the toy is called with the bands? i wanted to buy it but wasnt sure of the name :)
It's a geoboard
hey!
i have two sons almost your daughters age. How do you deal with boundaries, ownership and sharing with them.
My older son doesnt want to share some of his stuff that the younger one may be very intrseted in. He does not like to share his bed either. I see that you allowed her to share the doll house that is in kaile room. what do you do in situations where kaile does not want her little sister in her room or share her stuff in a proper way. especially that sometimes it is a gift he recived and you dont want to keep duplicateing items in your house.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!
Thanks
Is Kylie always going to be at preschool only in the morning? In my country from age 3 you go to kindergarten and although the parent has the choice to take kids home after lunch, and if you have a smaller kid at home you are sometimes encouraged to do so, but generally kids stay until about 4pm. (I'm talking about regular state kindergartens I don't know how Montessori ones work in my area)
Great vlog, I really enjoyed seeing how independent the girls are at getting ready in the morning ❤
I think she's mentioned that in this school, they only offer morning classes for the younger ones!
@@MariaandMontessori thanks, I think I missed that. :)
When is your 2 year olds nap? My baby girl is 1 1/2 now
hey, kylie has curly hair!
Just curious…do the girls get up/out of bed and into your room on their own? My daughter is almost 5 and has always stayed in her room and called for us when she wakes up. Lately she’s been getting up and coming out of room on her own and I don’t know how to handle it (let it happen naturally or ask her to stick to letting us know when she’s up?).
They always come into our room on their own :)
what about mornings when your kids don’t want cereal or oatmeal? this is a struggle for us
What to do if the child is not happy and cries all the time even in the teacher's arms? Is it better to keep her at home and try again next year when she is older or is it better to insist? My 2.5 yo girl isn't comfortable around people/kids but I enrol her in a school twice a week for three hours. Today was her first day but she cried the all time. I was waiting outside and after half an hour I decided to pick her up. Any advice? Thank you. Your girls are awesome! And you as well!!!!!!!
It's a very natural response to be upset about a change of environment and routine, especially if she has been with you this whole time! But they learn to interact with other adults and kids better with practice. After a while, they typically are happy in the class with their peers, even if they were crying at drop off (though you can always confirm with the teacher.) A lot of daycares and schools send out pictures weekly or monthly, but you may be able to ask for a couple of her first few days just to put your mind at ease. If you're calm, she will feel more relaxed as well!
However, 2 days a week may hinder her there. I know for us adults it seems like a gentler transition, and finances are always are something to consider. But toddlers, especially younger ones, do much better with a consistent routine. So even if it's a few hours at school, going there everyday would help her transition a lot faster.
@@MariaandMontessori thank you for your reply. I know it's not idea sending her only 2 days per week but it's a private school and it's expensive, plus it's far from us, we live in the countryside, and doesn't require vaccines. In addition I'm planning to homeschool her but I'd like her to interact with kids and teachers as well. 🙂
@@ilariandre_ absolutely makes sense. Are you able to do 2 consecutive days at least? I'd give her a chance to try and settle in before making the decision to pull her out. She may surprise you!
Why do you drive instead of walk to school if it is only a few minutes driving?
What type of pre-school does Kylie attend?
Never mind 😅
Where can I find the mirror and the wardrobe the girls have?
This one is Kylie’s: sprout-kids.com/collections/montessori-childrens-wardrobe-collection/products/montessori-childrens-wardrobe?ref=ashleyhapa and Mia’s is an IKEA hack that we put together using the 4-cube Kallax shelf unit and some drawer inserts. ;)
@@HapaFamily thank you so much!
I see that Mia kind of takes lead to what she wants to do during the day when Kylie is at school. My questions is what do you do when its time for you to decide what you're doing next like "its time to pick up Kylie from school" and Mia decides she doesnt want to. How do you approach that?
I give her lots of “heads up” warnings regarding things like that before they happen, so she doesn’t feel like I’m interrupting what she’s been doing. And if she still isn’t happy about it, I empathize with her feelings about it while using gentle hands to continue to help her to do what needs to happen (e.g., getting into the car). :)
My phone is out of stock
Has Mia been enjoying having time with just you during the day? Have you noticed anything new with her since she is able to be more independent and not having Kylie around to lead activities?
She loves it! 🥰
Please have a boy so we can see how you parent a boy toddler 😃. So inspiring, God bless your family!!
