What is the Montessori Method?

Before we begin to learn about the Montessori method, let’s briefly talk about the history and how this teaching method came about.

Montessori education was first developed by Maria Montessori, an Italian physician and child expert, in the early 20th century. Maria Montessori worked closely with children of all ages and observed that all children were different and unique in their own way; therefore, one learning method would not be adequate for all children. Maria Montessori observed that the best way children learned things and developed skills was by letting the child lead his/her own way and interact freely with the environment with little to no involvement from the adult.

Now that we learned about how Montessori started, let’s understand what Montessori is and how it works.

Montessori method or education is different from a traditional top-learning approach. The idea of Montessori learning is that every baby or child is seen as unique, with unique ways of learning, unique interests and unique timeline for learning. The Montessori method recognizes this by providing an environment that is tailored to meet the individual needs, interests, and developmental stages of each baby and child.

The Montessori method emphasizes in the child and the environment, prioritizing individual development and needs of each child. A Montessori education is as a holistic approach to learning that recognizes and prioritizes the following:

The baby or child has the freedom to interact with the environment.

Babies and children are free to explore their environment, learn and grow at their own pace.

The child can work independently or with other children in the activities.

The teacher stands at the back and observes, ready to help and guide the child without directly intervening.

The teacher supervises the activities and sees who needs to change to a new activity.

Children are normally mixed in activities with all ages where older children serve as a role model and help younger children with activities. This way also older children reinforce their own learning.

The Montessori method can be started in babies as early as newborns by communicating with your baby, telling them what you are doing and how ( feeding the baby, holding the baby, bathing the baby, changing the baby etc), this gives you (the parent) a good time to check your baby’s hearing, response to stimulus and the environment, etc. As babies grow, you must continue communicating with your baby, speaking slowly and moving your mouth slowly to let your baby absorb everything, sing to them so they learn tones, sounds, pitch and volume. This way your baby starts to learn and become familiarize and comfortable with his/her environment. As you baby grows, you can start to include activities at home where they can start to explore the environment by themselves and start creating independence (We will discuss more about Montessori Activities at home in our coming blogs) and eventually continue reinforcing the Montessori method during their toddler years.

To sum up, the Montessori method focuses primarily on the baby/child and their interaction with the environment. The Montessori approach embraces the uniqueness of every child and how their way of learning is different from child to child. Montessori emphasizes on different activities and teaching methods tailored to each child with minimum intervention from the teacher (parent or adult).

Did you know that baby blankets are more than just cute and warm blankets?

Baby fleece blankets are more than what you think. Let’s start by briefly talking about fleece and the benefits of it.

There are many different types of fleeces; however, the most popular are coral and polar fleece. Fleece is a synthetic fabric made of high-quality polyester that was primarily made for outdoors and mountain climbers to withstand severe weather conditions. It was very clear that fleece was a complete success that served its purpose; as a result, fleece was turned into almost anything such as hats, scarves, jackets, gloves/mittens, and blankets for consumer use.

So now moving from a brief introduction about fleece and its origin, let’s begin with the benefits of it. The first benefit of fleece, compared to other type of fabric or material, is that it is lighter than wool and yet it is still warm and fuzzy. This makes it a better choice for baby clothes or baby sleeping bags for newborns and other products because it will not put a lot of weight on our little ones. Fleece blankets make it a perfect way to keep your child covered and warmed without being suffocated.        

Unlike wool, cotton, Sherpa or other materials; Fleece is hypoallergenic. This means that fleece is skin friendly and does not cause any irritation or rashes to the skin. Moreover, baby fleece blankets are the number one choice for parents because fleece is gentle with their delicate baby’s skin and it is always keeping them comfortable and cozy. 

Another benefit of fleece is its property to be able to hold warmth and create an insulation without suffocating the body or making your baby uncomfortable. This makes it perfect for blankets as fleece is generally warmer than wool but does not overheat the body when using it. Furthermore, fleece contains air pockets that allow to repel moisture while keeping the body dry and warm. Fleece blankets do not cause the body to sweat, as this could potentially make the body colder.

 Lastly, fleece (especially coral fleece) will not pill, forming balls of fabric or tangled fabric due to the way the fabric is processed and the quality of it. Fleece, especially coral, makes the perfect material for baby blankets because it is durable, strong, withstands many washes and it is quickly to dry. Baby Fleece blankets are the number one must-have products at home all year round.

 Why should everyone have one? Keeping in mind all the great benefits that fleece has, and why fleece is the number one choice for baby blankets; everyone should have one because, as mentioned above, fleece blankets provide warmth to your child without causing him/her to sweat and feel discomfort.

 The other main reason why you should have one is because fleece blankets provide warmth that attempts to replicate a mother’s womb. This creates a sense of security, protection, and calmness that the womb provided while the baby was inside. It helps the baby still feel as if he/she was in the womb by helping the baby sleep or nap better without startling themselves. This tends to happen often as babies are not used to sleeping in this new and colder environment that is completely different from the womb.

Baby fleece blankets by providing a sense of security and protection, help reduce levels of stress or anxiety that a baby might feel when a parent is not around. Babies and infants tend to create a bond or association toward something that makes them feel safe. This can be a toy, a plush toy, a pillow, or a blanket. They tend to have this around or hug it when they feel scared or stressed. Baby fleece blankets are not only warm and soft, but they all provide this sense of security and bonding and all the other benefits with the baby. These fleece blankets can also help develop a baby’s sense of independence when the parents are not around by practising self-comfort with the blanket.

Lastly as mentioned above, fleece is the most prefer material for baby blankets due to its quality and texture that allows for printing a wide variety of designs, personalizing the blanket with the baby’s name, baby’s birth information and any other text, being durable and washable many times and much more. Customizing the baby’s blanket with his/her name also leads to creating a sense of independence and teaching them the importance of their name as this is what identifies them from others as they grow.
