So proud of my wife!
Thank you! 🥰
That is an amazing encouragement. I love your video
@@ALANAYARSA thank you!!
Such a nice husband
Best CZcams comment ever 🤩
Mental health worker here❣️I love montessori🧸🖤🌙 kids respond better to simplicity & they don't need stuff, they want you, your love & attention.
Yes, this is so true! I will be touching on this in an upcoming video! Thank you for your comment!
I love that you share how you modified your older son’s room to fit his needs instead of starting over from scratch. Shows that we can still be flexible
Thanks! Sometimes we can get so focus on how things are “supposed to look”, but every home is different and you have to do what works for your home! This is what worked for us :). Thank you for the encouragement!
Thank you so much for posting this video. It makes things so much more clear for what I can do to help my littles do this method too! Awesome job.
I’m glad you addressed the wooden vs not wooden . I have a old fujifilm camera that doesn’t fully develop the poloroid and I was wondering if it was a good “ Montessori toy “ or if I should get a wooden one but this answered my question thank you !!
I'm so glad this was helpful! I wish I had known that from the beginning as well, it makes so much sense! Not everything has to be wooden, we have lots of plastic toys that do a better job of representing things than wooden ones!
Love your environment especially with how much effort you have gone into to making certain areas of your home accessible for your children! ❤️❤️❤️ Yes, you are so right about Montessori at home being different to a Montessori centre. I worked in a couple of Montessori centres and now I’m doing Montessori at home (and loving it)!
Thank you so much for your comment! I'm glad you liked the video! I've noticed the environment is constantly changing as my kids get older and I've been loving figuring out what works best at each moment in their development! That is great that you worked at Montessori centers and are now doing Montessori at home! What a wonderful experience that must have been.
@@TaraWilloughby You're welcome 😄. Yes, it was a wonderful experience and it really helped me to discover what I truly wanted to do (work from home). Isn't it amazing how often you find yourself changing the environment around? Sometimes I swear I've only changed it a week ago but turns out it was more like 3 weeks ago! Lol.
Adorable children💕
I am going to reimagine some areas of my classroom from some of your ideas, thank you so much.
I love the cleaning tools, great for our lunch area, and the toy shelves.😊
Thank you 💕 so glad this video was helpful!
Really glad to see you transform what you have to make a Montessori home work! Modeling creative problem solving for your kiddos :) A potty in the room may not be traditional Montessori BUT in a Montessori school, the bathroom is usually quite easily accessible from any room during naps and, of course, the whole building is "child proof". That's definitely not always (or hardly ever) going to be possible in a regular home, so I'd say your set up is as closely aligned as is safely possible at home 🤷🏼♀️
LOVE the little fridge idea-that is really taking it to the next step. Kudos to you, mama!
Thank you! I love that each Montessori home is different. What works for one family may be different from another. I'm glad you enjoyed a look into how we Montessori in our home!! :)
I love your channel maria
@@ishatandon2644 Thank you so much! Honestly makes me so happy to hear that 😊
Wonderful montessori environment, as a montessori mom I know how much of effort we take and how they take the advantage of it, good luck,
Thank you! It is always nice to hear from other Montessori moms.
@@TaraWilloughby you are welcome 😊
I love what you’ve done with your space for your family! We opted out of the floor bed since we co-sleep but we have a surprisingly similar set up I think for our 2yo. Her nursery includes all of her play things and her bookshelves are traditional but she loves books and will read easily 30 in a day so it works for us. I’ve just begun transforming our kitchen for her too and I love the high chairs you use. I will definitely be looking for one. Thank you for sharing your home with us. ❤️
Thank you for watching! The chairs are called the Tripp Trapp from Stoke and we love them! I’m glad you found the video helpful!!
Thank you
Very good tips and tricks. My daughter is 2 and we are thinking of enrolling her in a Montessori school. It’s good to know it’s not to late and I don’t necessarily have to start over with all of her things.
I’m glad the video was helpful! It is never too late to get started!
Good morning, Tara. 2 suggestions and 1 request. Space in the fridge on bottom shelf for their food and large mirrors in bedroom at floor level. Love your setup! Could you film your children working with the materials so parents see how to guide them at home? i.e. how to give a lesson? As a former AMI Primary teacher, I'm very impressed with all you've done and love ❤ your channel!
Thanks for watching! We’ve moved since I made this video and we have updated a few things. One of the updates is a fridge in our coffee bar that the kids have access to! Large mirrors are a great idea, we currently do have mirrors, but they are smaller, I will look into that! I have a lots of video ideas for the fall!!
I love this! My little one is getting to the age where I am transforming one area at a time for Montessori.
Your great videos have inspired me to start my own Montessori youtube channel 😬
Yay! Love meeting other Montessori mamas! We just moved and I hope to have an updated Montessori house tour soon!
You have such a beautiful home!
Thank you 💕
Lovely! 😍
The love the little fridge !
Thanks!
Lol, when you said realistic firetruck, I imagined one that actually shoots water!
😂 my kids would love that
Glad I found your channel 🙋🏼♀️
These are valuable tips that every parent should know 🥰
We would love to partner with you!
Learning a new language can bring a great set of new tips to share😄
Thank you so much!
You can reach out via email! We would love to incorporate Spanish into our homeschool routine.
You’re such an amazing mother !!!
Thank you so much!!
I ❤ the simplicity
Just Beautiful
Thank you!
Very inspiring. Thank you!
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Very informative video x
I've been interested in using Montessori for my future children and I've been very inspired by your lovely video ❤️ You've definetly gained a subscriber!
Thank you for subscribing! I have more Montessori videos planned!
Amazing !!!
Thank you!
Love your playroom!!
Thank you! 💕
very inspiring !I love it specially because you are doing this for your little ones. just a comment in the video 9:44 in the kitchen would be great if you relocate or move the knife set from the counter .the house is beautiful and you have everything flexible for the kids. congratulations !!
Thank you! A few other people mentioned that as well and we have since moved and do food prep in a different area!!
I am from Brazil!Great job👏👏
Thank you!
Love this ❤️.. from malaysia
Thank you!!
I never used a tiny toilet, my kids used the small seat attachment and a stool just fine….saved having to transition again later from a kid toilet.
My son was scared of using the larger potty, so the tiny toilet worked best, but I agree, it adds another transition and is harder on me.
Thank you for your video, Really awesome. I am from india. Subscribed your channel. Love to see upcoming videos.
Thanks and welcome!
Another willoughby here! In Australia, I’m born willoughby
Hi!! Nice to meet you!
😍😍😍
🙂 may I ask where you purchased the white wicker like baskets?
Hi! They are actually rope baskets from target. We love them! They have many different sizes.

@@TaraWilloughby Thank you! 💕
Simplicity is key. Thanks for sharing. My only concern was the knives on the counter being so accessible to your little one. Otherwise very informative.
Thanks! I’ve since moved the knives because the boys like to do food prep there :)
is it possible to add links to all of the items ? Thank you
Yes! Thank you for reminding me, I've been meaning to do this. I've added some links, let me know if there is anything specific you are looking for.
Hey Tara, you mentioned that you started montessori when your son was 2yo. How did he adapt? Was it a smooth one?
Hey! It was pretty smooth because I didn’t change everything all at once, it was a gradual process. I started with the playroom and that was probably the hardest part because I started rotating toys and he didn’t understand why some toys were missing. Talking through the process and including them (as much as possible) helps. Most of the other elements were making things more accessible and child friendly, and including him in more daily tasks and decisions.
@@TaraWilloughby thanks for answering. Your montessori videos are ones of my favorites now (yours and Hapa Family's). You've got a new subscriber here.. 😀
My twins are approaching their 2nd birthday and we have all stuff locked and hidden away, even all pullers off the drawers because I’m terrified that one will close it and snap the other’s fingers. How do you deal with that? Or I have to hide their chairs and table as they keep climbing in them and push each other off.
I too want to do more Montessori approach but not sure how without letting them hurt each other or making the house a mess.
I mean those drawers in kitchen and bathroom , all content would be out the entire day! How did you get yours to use these and put away?
Great video by the way!
My best friend has twins and I think you have to be more strategic with twins. You have two kids at the same developmental stage, that is so much harder! I lock everything up that I don’t want my kids to have access to. This is going to be different for you since you have two. My younger son copies my oldest, so there are things I can do with him that I couldn’t have done with my first at the same age. Start small, and try to stick to a routine, keeps things consistent even if they don’t seem to get it at first, repetition and exposure is key. Children need options, but limited options. And with twins I know that makes things so much harder. It sounds like you are doing amazing! Keep it up and do what works for you! Your mental health is more important than if things are “Montessori”. No one should be having to clean up tons of messes all day to achieve a Montessori home. Follow your children, and start with their interest!
@@TaraWilloughby thank you!
Did that splash guard come with the little toilet?
It did! But it does not stay on at all. I ended up gluing it on so it would stay in place.
Where did you get the mini fridge from? Do you have a link? :)
I found it on Amazon! Here is the link: amzn.to/3yTKi16
just wondering where you got your adult & toddler sized squatty potties from?
It is from the squatting potty that can be two sizes. It’s two pieces that stack together, I just took them apart and put the smaller one with the toddler potty.
Love the toddler squatty potty
Why has Mike not added more products to it's company
Love that miniature toilet potty! Where can I find one?
Hi! I think they discontinued the version I have, but here is the new version! amzn.to/3bnCVlK
Wow, thank you so much! Love your videos, subscribed.
@@peggy_tan thank you for subscribing!!
Does that vaccum really work? If so, where can I get one?
It is the Dyson kids vacuum. I’ve seen them on Amazon and target. We got ours second hand. It does suction, but the suction is very weak. I wouldn’t suggest this vacuum if you are looking for one that will do any actual vacuuming.
I think he will just be happy if it works even a little. My son is obsessed with vacuums 😅😅
Haha it’s definitely fun! My son likes to vacuum too, so he was fun “helping” me vacuum.
That's all I need to hear, it's officially added to my wishlist. We have tile floors so this will be great for him seeing that it's really helping vs a toy vacuum that rattles! Good find 😂
@@eval.3582 😆 glad to help!
Why do you keep saying, “A” instead of “ah”? And why “duh”?
You look like Taylor swift
As a huge Swiftie, this is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me 🥰
Yeah, problem is my kids toy room is filled floor to ceiling with toys, there's no way in a million years I'd be able to simplify it this much. And it's literally driving me crazy. I got into an argument with my grandmom this morning because every single time she comes here she brings another toy, I can't take it anymore
What is keeping you for be able to simplify? I have some videos on toy rotation if you are interested in giving that a try! I also feel so overwhelmed with the amount of toys we have and get from family. Being able to rotate them has made a huge difference!
Why does a child need books in the bathroom ?
They don’t! My son enjoyed reading books while sitting on the potty and sometimes he would read books while I went to the bathroom.
I am old, I know, but I don’t think buying all that “extra” stuff like the toddler toilets, little fridge, etc….. is necessary to raise a well balanced, educated, capable child….
She never said it was necessary. Just buy what you think is appropriate for your own household and don't judge what other people have in their houses.
