What does The Furniture Children mean?
Maria Montessori believed planes of development (or sensitive periods for learning) were closely linked to, and were supported by, a child’s physical environment. She coined the phrase die Moebelkinder or (translated from German to English) “the furniture children” to describe children between the ages of birth to six years old; since they spend nearly all their time at home and in school.
Here, I provide professional experience and accessible, hands-on teaching materials, to directly support parents, educators and caregivers in their quest to create and sustain their child's physical environment -- through Montessori inspiration, philosophy, and activities.
