  • Have you seen tons of big houses on Montessori social media? I know that's most of what I saw when I was first starting out with Montessori at home. Living in a 750-square-foot apartment with no outdoor space looked much different than I saw online! Now we have two children in this space and we continue to navigate Montessori in the apartment as our needs change.
    This video gives a full tour of our small Montessori apartment. I hope it gives some ideas for how to navigate Montessori in a smaller space. I share some of what has worked well as well as some of our challenges (you get to see our overwhelming storage situation...).
    My name is Ayelet and I practice Montessori at home with my two children. On this channel, I share all about our Montessori journey. You can also find me on Instagram and Facebook at @homeandontheway as well as on my website at homeandontheway.com

    Finally a more realistic video of Montessori life! We live in a 860 square feet apartment in Munich and I am often overwhelmed watching these huge playrooms on social media! 😅 thank you for showing us that everything is possible! ❤

      I hope it’s helpful! It’s not always easy (especially now having 2 I find I’m struggling more) but is totally doable!

      Yesss same here across the border in Switzerland! We also have two cats which makes things even trickier (not everything can be a "yes space" because of litterboxes, cat food / water bowls)... 🙈

    Wow this is so helpful. I don't live in an apartment, but we have the budget of a small home and it's SO HELPFUL to see someone who took a small space and made it montessori! This makes me feel like I can actually do it!

    Thank you so much for sharing your home with us Ayelet. I love all the places where you've thought of your son's independence and autonomy, it's really inspired me to make some changes to our space (low hooks for coat, child size wardrobe, books by his toilet/potty etc). We have a slightly smaller bathroom so that's a challenge for us, but we'll be creative! Thanks again, from London UK.

      Aw thank you ❤️ the bathroom is definitely a place I feel we got a bit lucky with space. The floating shelf worked great for books before it came down too!

    Looks like a great space to play and learn!! It's impressive how you fit so many Montessori aspects into the small space in a cute way, very inspiring! Thanks so much for sharing it with us and for keeping it real too :)

    Thanks so much for sharing this! We also live in a small space in an area where most of our friends have much larger spaces. You have lots of great ideas here and show how to make decisions about what your priorities are in terms of your belongings and available space.

    • @HomeandontheWay
      @HomeandontheWay  Рік тому

      Thank you! I would imagine there are even more challenges when others around you have larger spaces! I always feel grateful most people don’t buy big gifts because everyone around us is short on space haha!

    Just a random question, do you and your husband wind down in the evenings/watch tv etc? I was going to ask how you get around not showing the tv in the daytime, but I didn’t notice one.
    Thank you again!
