What is Modern Montessori?
A proven educational approach, used in schools around the world, now adapted by Monti Kids to empower parents for use at home – and on the go! Our Modern Montessori guidance helps families support their little one’s development and honor their child’s unique journey towards independence, right from birth.
Watch the magic unfold
With the Modern Montessori approach, you’ll support your child’s independence by noticing their developmental changes and encouraging them to stretch in their most active learning zone. We’ll send you everything you need to put it into practice!
Learning Through Play
Each toy in our curriculum promotes curiosity, creative play and learning while supporting language development, executive functioning and brain growth.
Mind and Body Learning
Montessori education prescribes learning through doing, involving as many senses as possible to stimulate motor and cognitive development.
Creativity
Montessori environments cultivate creativity through thoughtful design and materials, child-directed learning and a playful approach to education.
Perseverance
Our curriculum is expertly timed so children repeatedly enter their ideal zone for learning, encouraging a growth mindset and healthy self-esteem.
Independence
Montessori fosters independence through the thoughtful design of each toy, the layout of the play space, and the way you interact with your child.
Concentration and Flow
Intense, immersive concentration is a state that inspires creativity, productivity and joy -exactly what Modern Montessori is designed to foster.
Monti Kids makes it easy.
We supply the science. Your baby supplies the magic. Nourish your child’s independence and individuality with The Monti Kids® Program.

Level 2
4 - 6 months old
From 4-6 months, as your little one’s movements become intentional instead of reflexive, there’s so much they can explore! We’ll help you introduce activities for tummy time and sensory exploration in this level.
Level 3
7 - 9 months old
Sitting up independently will free your baby’s hands for new activities! As your little one’s core is stronger now, they are ready to coordinate both hands together and begin self-feeding.
Level 4
10 - 12 months old
Once your baby is crawling, they will crave constant movement. The activities in this Level will encourage your little one to find purpose for their new-found mobility and to refine their hand movements.
Level 5
13 - 15 months old
Your baby is becoming a toddler! At this age, you’ll notice more problem-solving behaviors, such as trying a puzzle piece a different way. We’ll help you offer challenges at just the right level to support your little one’s perseverance and concentration, as they master their pincer grasp!
Level 6
16 - 18 months old
As your little one begins to walk more confidently – or even run – they’ll want to challenge and use their whole body. You’ll introduce activities that engage their new ability to understand a sequence in this Level.
Level 7
19 - 21 months old
At this age, your toddler is seeking to expand their vocabulary – and their independence! In this Level, we’ll offer activities that introduce concepts of similarity and difference, such as matching and sorting.
Level 8
22 - 24 months old
With more access to language, at this stage of development your toddler will begin to express observations about the world. We’ll guide you through introducing activities that explore creativity, build vocabulary, and challenge their ability to discriminate sizes, shapes, and colors.
Level 9
25-27 months
Craving independence, at this age your little one has a strong desire to help and is interested in how things work. In this level, you’ll introduce practical life activities that engage their new ability to understand a sequence.
Level 10
28 - 30 months old
As your little one has greater control of their fingers and hands, at this stage of development they will be able to complete multi-step processes. We’ll guide you through introducing activities that invite experimentation and self-correction.
Level 11
31 - 33 months old
With the ability to understand patterns, at this stage your little one is ready for game play and social activities. In this level, you’ll introduce gross motor challenges and open-ended activities whose play patterns you'll repeat and expand on for years.
Level 12
34 - 36 months old
Your toddler’s ability to recall past events through storytelling at this age indicates readiness for numeracy. We'll help you support your child with activities that make numbers concrete and further develop creative expression.
