Montessori from the Start: The Child at Home, from Birth to Age Three is a practical Montessori parenting guide by Paula Polk Lillard and Lynn Lillard Jessen, focused on infancy and toddlerhood rather than classroom education. The book translates Maria Montessori principles into domestic routines, arguing that education begins at birth because the first three years are a decisive period for movement, language, independence, sensory exploration, and personality formation. Its purpose is not to accelerate academic learning, but to help parents prepare a home environment that respects the natural developmental drives of babies and toddlers. The authors explain how everyday matters such as sleeping, feeding, movement, play materials, toileting, and communication can be shaped by observation, order, freedom within limits, and respect for the child as an active learner. The book occupies a specific place in Montessori literature because it addresses the period before preschool, when parents are the primary designers of the learning environment.
