“Montessori” refers to Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician and educator who revolutionized early childhood education in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Through careful scientific observation, she developed a child-centered approach that honors the natural development of the whole child—from birth through adulthood. For over a century, her method has been embraced across cultures and confirmed by both short-term and long-term studies. You can explore more about the Montessori philosophy and how it works here.

Great question! Understanding the principles of Montessori education will equip you to be the best Montessori homeschooler you can. The Montessori principles are explained thoroughly in our free curriculum sample, which you can find here. For additional information on this topic, check out this blog post or this video.

In short, sensitive periods are short snippets of time during which a child is uniquely excited about and equipped to learn certain things within their environment. To provide you with a full understanding of this important concept, we've put together a PDF that explains it in detail. You can dive into even more information in this blog post or this video.

Absolutely! Using a Montessori approach is not only doable, but easier than you might think. That's because Montessori at home really refers to a home which follows the child: their needs, their interests and their sensitive periods.

When you bring Montessori principles into your home, you will likely make your home more organized, decluttering along the way. You will introduce child-sized furniture into your Montessori home, and provide real tools for your child to explore and to learn with.

Your in-home Montessori environment should be orderly and clean. It should include a natural light source and provide activities that align with your child's needs, interests and abilities.

And, should you decide to homeschool, the best Montessori homeschool curriculum to use is one that makes your life easier - like Multisori.

In general, an authentic Montessori curriculum will follow the traditional Montessori scope & sequence, facilitate creation of a prepared environment, instruct in Montessori lesson presentation, encourage self-directed learning, emphasize the independence of the students, and be easily tailored to each child while facilitating multi-age studies. Just like Multisori.

Multisori provides a turnkey solution for non-traditional Montessori settings. While finding a Montessori homeschool curriculum that is authentic, comprehensive and budget-friendly can be a challenge, we are changing that here at Multisori. We offer a Montessori curriculum that is hassle-free, affordable, and fully equipped. With ongoing support, included manipulatives, group coaching, and a flexible approach, Multisori stands out as the best curriculum for Montessori homeschool co-ops, daycares and schools.

Our Montessori Toddler curriculum, designed for ages 18-36 months, is coming soon!

Our Montessori primary curriculum includes prek-3, prek-4, kindergarten and 1st grade resources for ages 2.5 - 6.5.

Yes! You are exactly who our curriculum was designed for. Homeschoolers and uncertified guides in non-traditional Montessori settings face a unique set of circumstances and challenges that rarely mimic those of a classroom. That's why our products are designed for use by parents, not guides. They do not assume that you have specific classroom materials and provide:

✅ Straightforward presentation instructions

✅ A complete set of beautiful, printable manipulatives

✅ Simplified Montessori scope and sequences

✅ Streamlined, efficient record keeping

✅ Ongoing community and support.

Further, they are visually engaging, feel like play, and work for multiple age groups and settings.

Maybe. All of our products are streamlined to save time and promote efficiency in learning. However, you will need to be able to devote at least 2-5 hours per week to environment preparation, as well as the time necessary for schooling. Be wary of programs and curricula claiming to be “Montessori" but require no preparation. A cornerstone of the Montessori philosophy is having a prepared environment. Your environment is crucial to the success of homeschooling. Good, thorough preparation takes time.

Our Montessori Toddler Curriculum includes language arts and practical life. It will be updated to include other subject areas soon.

Our Montessori Primary Curriculum includes Art, Geography, Language Arts, Mathematics, Practical Life, Science, and Sensorial.

Yes. Our curriculum's core subject areas - Art, Geography, Mathematics, Practical Life, Science, and Sensorial - follow the Montessori Scope and Sequence.

However, our curriculum is self-contained, which means that you do not need to purchase any other items in order to use it. And, we purposefully crafted the curriculum for in-home use. This means it's easy and efficient for mom and feels like play to kids. This also means that some activities from the Scope & Sequence are modified or deleted entirely.

Our Language Arts curriculum is focused on creating confident, joyful readers, and is intended to be used by both primary and lower elementary aged students. Our Montessori language arts curriculum does NOT follow the Montessori Scope and Sequence. Instead, it streamlines and lightens the load of teaching children to read and write using a multi-sensory, kinesthetic approach in your Montessori home environment.

Absolutely. Your child(ren) may even be ahead! Because our homeschooling curriculum is customizable to your child(ren)'s interests and sensitive periods, your child(ren) may be able to excel in ways you never thought possible with Multisori.

Yes! Multi-sensory learning engages more than one sense at a time. It incorporates visual, auditory, tactile, and olfactory stimuli, creating a richer, more engaging educational experience. 

Kinesthetic learning, on the other hand, emphasizes physical activity and movement as essential components of the learning process.

Children who are kinesthetic learners often find traditional classroom settings challenging, as they may struggle to absorb information through lectures or static activities.

Montessori is the original whole-brain learning methodology. The pedagogy has valued teaching concepts by involving multiple areas in the brain and engaging all of the senses for over a century.

We understand that the unique needs of each family are different. Therefore, you may buy any subject area you wish, while excluding others. You will receive a discount should you decide to buy the entire curriculum at one time.

When you buy from us, you are never alone. Our private Facebook group provides a supportive tribe of like-minded homeschoolers from all over the world. So, help is always just a click away. 

Additionally, we offer affordable consulting and group coaching should you want to rely on certified Montessori guides as you implement our curriculum.

***When you purchase the complete toddler or complete primary curriculum, a full semester of group coaching is included.
