One of the best and easiest ways to use Montessori at home economically and effectively is with toys. Instead of giant toy boxes, try placing a select number of toys on the shelf into a container. These containers parents can completely buy from the store at a cheap price.

Points to note when applying Montessori at home

 Size: Parents often choose quite small containers because they think that the children will be easy to hold and move, but if the container is too small, it will make it difficult for the baby to take out and put things in. However, if the container is too big, children will not want to work with it because they feel uncomfortable.

Materials: In a Montessori environment, parents should prioritize finding materials such as wood, rattan, metal or glass. I myself have tried to use a mixture of all the ingredients that can be found in the house.

 Cost: Because children are often aggressive when working with materials; Moreover, they also often get bored quickly when they get a little older. Therefore, parents should find cheap things to make Montessori materials for their children.

 Tray: This is my favorite and probably the most versatile. All sizes are available. The large tray is ideal for art or puzzles. Small tray for keeping small toys organized. The tray also gives children easy access to bathroom items and kitchen food.

When looking to buy trays, try to find ones with handles. Try to find the ones that are easiest to use. Also, avoid using trays that are too large or too heavy. Rattan trays can be a great alternative because they are lighter than others.

Baskets: Baskets are ideal for storing loose items of all sizes. Parents can use them to hold stuffed animals, lego, wooden blocks and more. The basket also makes it easy for kids to get to their socks and underwear.

In addition, the basket is also very convenient to store children’s toys. Because baskets are lightweight, babies can pull them off the shelf without hurting themselves, and using baskets is also a good way to teach children to put things back in place.

Baskets are the easiest thing parents can buy cheaply. But parents note that there are many types of baskets with different qualities. Parents should look for sturdy baskets of all sizes.

 Wooden bowls: Bowls are used for small jobs. Small bowls are ideal because they can be grasped well and look very pretty. Parents should not use large bowls because large bowls are often too heavy for children to use.

Born in the early 90s, but up to now, the teaching philosophy of Montessori method is still valid and has a great influence in most of the developed education in the world. Currently, the Montessori method is applied to teach in over 5,000 schools in the US, Canada, UK, Japan, Sweden….And recently, Montessori began to appear in Vietnam.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Ngoc Dung, education and preschool education manager, has spent many years researching and practicing teaching this method in Vietnam, asserting: “The Montessori method is suitable for all children, regardless of culture or language”. The most important thing, she said, is the philosophy of education.

Teaching philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori is right for every child. “Every child is an adult….They are born with the potential to learn…Learning is natural at the right time for a child’s development. There is no right to teach above or below, teachers do not have the right to teach. have the right to choose the curriculum that children choose for themselves”

According to Th.s Dung, the sensitive age milestones of a child’s development are equidistant every 3 years: from 0-3 years old, 3-6 years old, 6-9 years old, and 9-12 years old… Applying the Montessori method to children according to these age milestones will help children maximize their abilities.

And recently, according to the survey results of AMS (American Association of Montessori), Montessori teaching application for groups of children at all 3 levels (retarded children; normal children and children with special abilities). especially), most of the children developed more confidence and creativity than the group of children who were taught with the normal method.

Casa dei Bambini Kindergarten is one of the schools that implements a curriculum based on the foundation and philosophy of the Montessori method. After 5 years of establishment and development, Casa dei Bambini Kindergarten has become a preschool trusted and accompanied by parents.

In the future, the mission of Casa dei Bambini is to contribute the Montessori method to help children develop comprehensively from intellectual, physical, cognitive and social-emotional aspects. We wish to accompany parents on the path of raising children, and at the same time spreading and building a community to educate children with love.
