DIY Montessori-On-Demand: Practical Life | Foundational Skills | Part 3, empowers learners' practical life skills, fosters independence, and builds self-confidence through Montessori principles. Our classes are built with activities to help your learners discover the wonders of their worlds'. Let's learn together!

We are proud to be the first and only accredited Montessori school on the Outschool platform, featuring certified teachers who bring their expertise from our brick-and-mortar school located in Ontario, Canada.

In this course, we focus on the Montessori approach to practical life skills at home. Learners will learn how to effectively guide their child in activities that promote independence and self-confidence. The goal is to create a Montessori-friendly environment at home, making everyday tasks both educational and enjoyable. 

Topics included within PART TWO are transferring with different tools, pouring liquids, and applying previous lessons in a practical way via art activities. Throughout the course, children will enhance their hand-eye coordination and refine their fine motor skills - crucial for everyday tasks and overall development.

The course is divided into weekly units, each focusing on a distinct aspect of practical life skills. Each unit includes carefully crafted video content that explains the purpose of the activity, the materials needed, and the step-by-step process. Additionally, videos are complemented by printable resources (as needed) to provide an easy alternative to the authentic Montessori material. Throughout the videos, presenter tips offer valuable insights and suggestions to maximize the effectiveness of each activity.

Our videos demonstrate how to create Montessori materials using common supplies, eliminating the need to purchase additional resources. Students are highly encouraged to actively participate by reviewing the class content and applying Montessori methods at home, fostering a collaborative and hands-on learning experience that deepens understanding and engagement.

Our teaching style is designed to be fun, engaging, and productive. The self-paced format allows you to learn at your convenience while interacting with practical and dynamic exercises. The videos and resources are structured to provide a comprehensive understanding of each activity, ensuring that you feel confident with the activities.

While this course is self-paced, you’re not alone on this journey. Learners have the opportunity to book individual meetings with the teacher to ask questions, seek guidance, or receive personalized feedback. This ensures that you have the support you need to effectively implement Montessori principles and activities in your home.

Through this course, children will be equipped with practical life skills, making everyday tasks both enjoyable and educational. Join us in fostering your child’s independence and confidence through purposeful, hands-on learning experiences. Embrace the Montessori philosophy and watch your child thrive in an environment that encourages exploration, creativity, and growth.
