Montessori Learning Tower

What is a Montessori learning tower

Learning Tower is a stool for the child to reach tables and countertops autonomously and safely. Montessori principles encourage the relationship between the children and their food by involving the child in the set-up, preparation and cleaning of the meal. The learning tower gives them the opportunity to participate in all kitchen activities and beyond. Learning towers offer a great and safe way for your toddler to be actively involved in the kitchen/bathroom/dining table tasks, providing them with a sense of inclusion all whilst being perfectly safe.

Who can use it?

Any strong stander will be safe in the Learning Tower (with close adult supervision of course)

Where can we use it?

Against any standard bench including:

The kitchen

The bathroom 

Some dining tables

The garage work bench 

When do you need to buy a Montessori learning tower?

You need to buy a learning tower (without further ado) when:

You apply the "Montessori Method" and you want to have the house adapted to your child (mainly the bathroom and the kitchen) so that they can develop independently.

Your son is used to accompanying you in the daily chores around the house, but he is already too old to be carried in your arms while you do them (he needs another way of "being in the loop").

Your child demands to see what you're doing on the kitchen counter or table and you can't cook without watching him (avoid tantrums).

You want to share unforgettable moments with your child and you need to be able to do so without having to worry about their safety.

You are encouraging your child to take the initiative in activities that require reaching the table, counter, sink, etc... to do them independently (washing dishes or brushing teeth, for example)

Your child is very mobile and uses any furniture, box or toy he finds at home to climb in order to reach places that are literally unreachable for him (eliminate risks with the learning tower).

Which Learning Tower is the best for you and your child?

There is no single answer. Depends on:

Your individual needs (aesthetic tastes, economic capacity...)

The age of your child (there are towers focused on babies and others designed to adapt to different ages)

What you want to use the tower for (perhaps you want a convertible learning tower)

The space you have at home (maybe you need a collapsible learning tower)
