ABOUT THE APP
Montessori from the start.
Montessori Roots is a calm companion for the first three years. Each developmental stage offers five to seven things to try at home — based on years of Montessori research, observation, and one Montessori parent's experience raising her own.
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.
Who its for
First-time and early-stage parents who have heard of Montessori but aren't trained, and anyone overwhelmed by parenting content who wants concrete, low-anxiety guidance on what to actually do this month to support your child’s growth and development.
Who its by
Built by Amanda Koos Freitas — designer, AMS Infant-Toddler credentialed, and Montessori field consultant.

Montessori Roots: Checklist stores everything locally. Here's what we store: your child's name (optional), your child's birthdate (optional), which checklist items you've completed, and which stages you've skipped or completed. None of this is sent to a server. None of it is shared with anyone. There are no analytics, no tracking, no third-party services. If you delete the app, all this data is gone. If you reset progress in Settings, all stored data is cleared including your child's name and birthdate.
