Your 3-year-old is stepping into a season of intense concentration, bigger independence, and deepening curiosity.
At this age, children are still in the "sensorial explosion" phase Maria Montessori described—but now with more coordination, more repetition, and a deep love of order and mastery.
Montessori education meets them right where they are: with hands-on activities, rich language exposure, and gentle invitations to explore reading, writing, math, science, and more.
Big Idea.
Big Independence.
What Your 3-Year-Old Needs from You Right Now.
Your 3-year-old is bursting with potential and a deep inner drive to do things "by myself!"
What They Need from You
Plenty of opportunities for real-world tasks like dressing, cooking, and cleaning
A simple environment that allows for choice and independence
Encouragement to concentrate and repeat activities they love

Pride in mastering practical life skills, like buttoning or pouring
Interest in matching letters to sounds or recognizing their own name

Our curriculum is designed to nurture these milestones with simple, beautiful activities that grow with your child in every academic area!
Montessori Homeschool Support for Your 3-Year-Old
At three, your child is ready for more — more responsibility, more choice, more real work. You don’t need a classroom or a huge stash of toys. You just need a clear plan, purposeful materials, and the confidence to guide them.
That’s why we recommend starting with our Foundations of Primary course, a step-by-step homeschool curriculum that tells you exactly what to teach and when. It’s perfect for parents who want structure without rigidity and for children eager to explore both practical life and early academics. In this course, you’ll learn how to:
Introduce early reading and writing experiences with joy and confidence
Support budding math skills through hands-on materials and daily life activities
Build a daily rhythm that balances movement, concentration, and rest
With our affordable Montessori homeschool curriculum, you’ll meet your child’s thirst for independence while covering everything they need for a well-rounded education.
