For those parents who are curious about the concept of a Montessorian bedroom

The Montessori room is one of the applications of the philosophy of the Italian doctor and educator Maria Montessori (1870-1952) in the development of children in early childhood. All the elements are aimed to create a creative learning environment. The space should be structured according to the perspective of the child, not the adult, so that he can circulate freely in the space exploring the things that are within his reach.

The strongest icon of this style room is the mattress on the floor. Both babies and children sleep on a mattress placed on an insulating surface - which can be an EVA mat or a low bed, for example. The idea is that the very young can get around freely in their own space.

When the baby is too small, it is advisable to use pillows, comforters or pillows around the bed so that it is safer at night. It is also important to pay attention to plugs and small or dangerous objects. Everything in this room has to be thought for the child!

Another aspect is the provision and organization of toys, booklets and other stimulants and educational objects. They should be on lower shelves, boxes or baskets, always in small eye level. This is important for parents to teach the right place for everything and the child can also early learn how to organize his space.

Another interesting element in the composition of the room is the use of mirrors. The object helps the child to understand the limits of his body, to know, to feel more secure and understand that it is a person other than the mother. Acrylic mirrors are the best option to let mothers and fathers more relaxed.

The Montessori room must have space for the child to move, hence the importance of respecting a characteristic of this type of environment: the presence of almost no furniture. The walls may have decorative items such as stickers and frames, but at a height that can be seen by the occupant of the space. Gabriel Solomon, teacher of a Montessori school in São Paulo, says that the room should be painted and decorated in soft colors.
