The Montessori Method is an educational philosophy catering to a child’s developmental stage, rather than age, that values choice and independence. Bring that philosophy home with Colorado-made, Montessori-inspired children’s furniture that encourages the little ones to play how they please while boosting their creativity, imagination, and motor skills.
