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
What You’ll See in Them
Pride in mastering practical life skills, like buttoning or pouring
Interest in matching letters to sounds or recognizing their own name
An increased ability to focus for longer periods (especially when they're truly engaged)
A deep joy in completing real, meaningful work
Our curriculum is designed to nurture these milestones with simple, beautiful activities that grow with your child in every academic area!
