WHY START WITH MONTESSORI FROM BIRTH?

From the very first days, your child is capable of active participation in their own development. A well-prepared environment supports their sense of security, helps build concentration, and encourages movement and independence – all while deepening the bond between caregiver and child.

This simple, visual guide was created to help you prepare your home for a baby from birth to 6 months. Learn how to support your child’s natural development with calm, order, and independence from the very beginning.

And what’s next in Montessori education?

This program offers a deep introduction to Montessori principles for the youngest children. Designed for assistants, educators, and caregivers, the course explores how to support development in the first three years of life through respectful interactions, prepared environments, and a strong understanding of the child’s needs.​
While humans are born with a mathematical mind, a love of mathematics and developing mathematical skills starts from early childhood experiences; and stays with a child for a lifetime. What do we need to know to support this development? What activities prepare for the development  of concentration, classification, order and understanding? 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do I need all of these materials right away?

No. Montessori is about simplicity. Start with what feels right for your family and add gradually. Even just a soft mat and a mirror can make a big difference.

What if I don’t have space for separate areas?

That’s okay! A single calm corner can serve more than one purpose. It’s not about perfection – it’s about intention and consistency.

Is this guide only for parents?

Not at all. It’s useful for anyone caring for a baby in the first months of life – grandparents, nannies, assistants, or caregivers in small settings.

How can I learn more about working with children from birth?

We recommend our AMI 0–3 Orientation Certificate Course – a comprehensive, internationally recognized training for those who want to deepen their understanding of children in the first three years of life.
