Our Materials
The materials designed by Maria Montessori are simple, yet beautiful and are designed to spark a child’s interest to use them. They invite repetition to acquire skills, provide opportunities for language acquisition and are self teaching/correcting where possible.
Each material progresses along the path of concrete to abstract and simple to complex.
The library includes formal Montessori materials and materials that are aligned with the above philosophy that you can easily set up and use in your own home.
Our materials are suited for ages 0-7.
