Montessori Parents
Parents play an essential role in the development of children. As a Montessori parent, this is even more true. A Children’s Habitat strives to help families embrace a holistic Montessori mindset, focused on the development of the child as a whole person—both in school and out. From resources and articles, to educational family nights, guest speakers, and activities, as a school, we hope to support your entire family as you raise thoughtful, inspiring, and intellectual humans.
Our parent portal offers detailed, school-related information for current parents.
Montessori Resources
Trillium Montessori
TRILLIUMMONTESSORI.ORG
Trillium Montessori is home to the Montessori experiments and collections of AMS-certified Montessori Guide, Seemi Abdullah. Here, parents can find a wealth of resources from blogs and podcasts, to printables and online courses. While Trillium Montessori focuses on a homeschool ideal, we find this site to be a valuable resource for ongoing Montessori engagement for parents, through some of her ideas for home as well as her blogs, podcasts, and newsletters.
MONTESSORI IN THE HOME AROUND THE WORLD
Does your day sound something like this? ⬇️
You start the morning with good intentions, but the routine already feels off. Emotions rise quickly (both yours and your little ones), patience runs thin and before you know it, you’re just trying to get through the day rather than enjoy it.
If this feels familiar, take a breath.
You’re not doing anything wrong and you’re certainly not alone in this. Many parents reach this point not because they aren’t trying hard enough but because they’re carrying too much without a clear moment to step back 🥺💕
Sometimes what helps most isn’t another strategy or a stricter plan, but a calm pause and an outside perspective. One or two small, thoughtful shifts can completely change the tone of a day and bring things back to a place that feels more connected and manageable!
That’s what these 30-minute sessions are for - to offer clarity, reassurance and gentle guidance that fits your family.
If you’re reading this and quietly nodding, it may be a good moment to reach out and give yourself the support you deserve 🤍

Meet the hearts behind Joyful Montessori 💛
Swipe through to learn more about our team: Ms Ashley, Ms Sabrina and Ms Hatice—our favourite Montessori moments, what inspires us, and the joy we find both inside and outside the classroom 💕✨
What makes our team extra special is that Sabrina and Hatice first joined Joyful Montessori as parents. Their children completed our Parent-Child and School Readiness programs and are now thriving in primary school, aged 5–11. That lived experience brings such depth, understanding, and care to the way they support our children and families today. 🌱
We’re so grateful for this beautiful community and our nurturing, dedicated educators.

A 9-month-old doing practical life.
Yes—already.
✅Self-feeding with intention.
✅Choosing between outfits.
✅Peeling a banana, exploring an onion.
✅Watching the dishwasher hum, observing cleaning, absorbing language.
This is not “helping mama.”
This is work.
At this age, learning is dynamic—not staged.
Every movement builds coordination.
Every observation builds vocabulary.
Every real task builds connection.
Practical life isn’t about the outcome.
It’s about belonging, participation, and the deep inner drive to understand how life works.
When we slow down and invite babies into real life,
they don’t just learn skills—
they build confidence, concentration, and trust in themselves.

Helping your child get dressed as early as age 2!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lay pants and underwear on the ground, showing that the tag or writing goes in the back (sits on the ground). Encourage him to find the “head hole” of the shirt or dress and begin by moving that over their head, then follow with arms. Invite your child to look in the mirror and check for himself if everything feels comfortable. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You are guiding your child to develop a self awareness about how something feels and fits. If the shirt is on backwards, or shoes on the wrong feet, simply ask your child “does it feel comfortable?”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If it does, don’t correct!
