Karla (5/5)

Setting up for success

"I bought this book for my sister who was overwhelmed with what her baby needs to feel loved and cared for. It was such a great place to guide new moms on things they would never have thought about or even answers to questions they had. Great buy!"

Janet (5/5)

A Helpful, Accessible Guide to Montessori for Parents

"This book is a helpful guide for all those hoping to implement Montessori principles at home. I appreciate how the authors continuously emphasize that it's not about what you buy, but how you engage with your baby. Social media has misled folks into thinking Montessori is all about pretty shelves and minimalistic design - it's so much more! Also, the authors provide helpful charts/lists about what to look for at different stages, when to introduce certain toys/skills, etc. Lastly, as someone who has read Montessori's original writings, I know that this guide is consistent with her teachings but is a much more accessible read for busy parents."

Rebekah (5/5)

Comes highly recommended. Good easy read. Going to get the Montessori Toddler next.

"Comes highly recommended. Good easy read. Going to get the Montessori Toddler next."

Jasmine (4/5)

Great Resource

"This book is a great resource for parents, caregivers and families wanting to raise their children in a child centred learning and living environment. This helps to explain that the Montessori method is applicable to the home environment and that a home is full of enriching opportunities that do not require constant engagement with consumerism. There are sections for various stages and situations that can guide and support families raising babies."

Pchristison (5/5)

Well written and informative

"Very well written with great anecdotes to help make the transition to the Montessori approach a lot more relatable and achievable. I also love how many resources are provided in the book for further reading."
