3. Montessori Environment at Home
 A bed that is low to the ground helps children climb in
and out with ease. Also, parents may want to top the
bed with a sleeping bag instead of a comforter to
empower children to make their bed on their own.
Parents can also put clothing in labeled drawers at
the right height for a child, add a small coat rack, and
make light switches accessible to encourage children
to take care of their own belongings. Whenever
possible, toys should be in accessible containers to
encourage free play. Keeping clutter to a minimum
creates a calming atmosphere.
In addition to creating a comforting bedroom, parents
can adjust other parts of the house to cater to their
children. For example, parents may want to set up an
arts and crafts center and establish a children's work
area in the kitchen to nurture children's creativity.
