Remember the Ideals of Maria Montessori....
Dr. Maria Montessori wrote many things about observation and "following the
child." The child's natural home environment, especially for a
infant/toddler is where she believed the child should be. You are trying to
recreate a classroom where the classroom environment is designed to recreate
the home. Take a step back, relax and think about what you child is doing
and needs to do.
