The Prepared Home Environment service is intended to achieve a balance between developing child independence and maintaining a sophisticated adult environment in the home. Recognising the significance of encouraging a child's independence, holistic development, and consistent daily routines, this service ensures that homes are personalised to assist the child's progress in all areas of development. The goal is to integrate home organisation into daily routines in order to promote an effective and harmonious living environment.
With the expertise of the London Montessorian, parents will embark on a comprehensive journey to optimise their homes for child independence. The process begins with a 90-minute session where the London Montessorian will explore the home, focusing on spaces the child uses and has access to and discussing tailored strategies to enhance these areas. This in-person session will be followed by a video call session to address any additional queries and provide further guidance. For those who do not reside locally, both sessions can be conducted online, ensuring that every participant benefits from the expert's insights irrespective of their location. Throughout this engagement, parents will receive actionable insights on aligning home organisation with a child's daily routines, age-appropriate activities, toys, and much more.

The concept stems from the Montessori philosophy, which believes in creating environments tailored to children's developmental needs. In a prepared home environment, spaces are intentionally designed to foster a child's independence, curiosity, and growth.
Not at all! Whether you have a spacious home or a cosy apartment, our goal is to optimise the space you have. Montessori principles can be implemented in homes of all sizes.
