DECLUTTER YOUR WAY TO A MONTESSORI FRIENDLY HOME

Are you ready to create a Montessori friendly home but have no idea where to start?

You’re not alone, a lot of parents put off getting started with Montessori because they can’t find the time, they don’t know where to start, or they have too much to do.

In this article, you’ll learn how to use decluttering to get started with Montessori today!

Using the Montessori Quick Start Action Plan (download below!) we are going to work through each area of your home to create your Montessori friendly home!

Alright, if you’ve got your action plan then let’s get started!
