ABOUT THE APP
Montessori Roots: Checklist is a calm companion for the first three years. Each developmental stage offers a simple checklist of seven to eleven things to try at home, based on years of Montessori research, observation, and one Montessori teacher’s experience raising her own child.
Authentic Montessori guidance for infants and toddlers is genuinely hard to find publicly. Most resources for the 0–3 age range live in trained guides' handwritten manuals and credential program materials, not on the open web. This app is drawn from both AMI (Association Montessori Internationale) and AMS (American Montessori Society) Montessori standards, plus material from credential program training, curated for what's actually doable at home, chosen for ease of setup and developmental relevance, not classroom complexity.
Less is more. Observe your child. Set up the room for them. Trust the long arc.
