Baby & Me Montessori Workshop

A Space for Learning and Connection for Babies and Parents.

At Montessori Barcelona School, we believe that the first months of life are fundamental to a baby's overall development. That is why we invite you to join our Baby & Me Montessori Workshop, specially designed for babies from 2 to 12 months, together with their parents.

This workshop provides a space where you and your baby can share unique moments in a 100% Montessori environment, carefully prepared to stimulate natural learning and strengthen the bond between you.

What to Expect?

  • Exploration in a Montessori Environment: Your baby will freely interact with materials designed to support cognitive, motor, and sensory development. Your baby will freely interact with materials designed to support cognitive, motor, and sensory development.

  • Personalised Guidance: A specialised Montessori guide will be with you, offering stimuli, appropriate materials, and guidance based on your baby's developmental stage.

  • Learning for Home: You will learn how to implement Montessori practices in your daily life, allowing you to continue fostering your baby’s growth and learning at home.

This workshop is an opportunity to support your baby's development while allowing you, as a parent, to connect, observe, and learn through a respectful and scientific methodology that places the child at the centre of learning.

Join This Transformational Experience

If you wish to provide your baby with the best foundation for development in an environment designed especially for them, this workshop is for you! Experience the benefits of the Montessori method from your baby’s earliest months.

Structure and Dynamics

Each session is carefully structured in an intimate setting, with small groups of only 4 families, ensuring personalised attention tailored to the specific needs of each baby and family.

Babies will interact with specially designed materials to stimulate their sensory, motor, and cognitive skills—always at their own pace and according to their interests.

  • The Montessori guide will be present to accompany, observe, and provide suitable materials and stimuli according to each baby’s stage of development.

  • Parents will actively participate, learning how to foster and respect their child’s development.

Workshop Structure

Initial Online Interview:

  • Get to know each other, connect, and build a relationship of trust.

  • Deeply understand the unique needs, preferences, and circumstances of each family.

  • Prepare the ground to maximise the experience from the very first practical session.

8 In-Person Sessions (75 minutes each):

  • Enjoy eight in-person sessions at the Barcelona Montessori Preschool, in a carefully prepared indoor and outdoor environment tailored for your baby.

  • Explore both theory and practice in a 100% Montessori setting.

  • The Montessori Guide will provide personalised support, ensuring that the unique needs of each baby and their parents are met.

Final Review & Integration Session (Online):

After completing all the in-person sessions, we will hold a final online meeting to:

  • Review and reflect on the baby's progress and the experiences gained over the two-month journey.

  • Provide practical guidance and resources to support the family in continuing independently.
