List of Suggested Montessori Furniture for Montessori Classrooms by Michael Dorer Revised: November 1, 2016

November 1, 2016 ©Michael Dorer



Introduction to the Montessori Furniture Lists The furniture lists that follow are offered for reference purposes. The first list is for the Toddler/Emerging level of Montessori. The second list is for the Early Childhood level of Montessori. The third list is for the Lower Elementary (6-9) level of Montessori and the final list is for the Upper Elementary (9-12) level of Montessori. The lists for each level, except Toddler/Emerging are divided into Material Stands and Furniture. The Toddler/Emerging level has Material Stands and Furniture merged as one list. I have indicated several new items that I believe could be built by Cache’s team at Paragon Builders. These include the Farm Table and the Doll House Table in Early Childhood Material Stands and in Lower Elementary Material Stands. Another new item will be Floor Tables (Chowkies) sized larger for Upper Elementary and smaller for Toddlers. Finally, I have indicated the MLG Chart Stand in both Lower Elementary and Upper Elementary Material Stands and I have highlighted all new Paragon Builders suggestions in yellow. I definitely want so speak with Doran or Cache about these items when I am in Salt Lake City. The six-place locker with doors is a cubby for children's coats and outerwear. They are listed in Early Childhood Furniture. However, Gonzagarredi does not make them sized for elementary aged children. Community Playthings does make a nice locker that could be an alternative for elementary children. It is called Four-Space Locker w/ Baskets and is number A751. Finally, there is a Teacher’s Presentation Table (Horseshoe) shown in the Upper Elementary Furniture. This is a bit of a judgment call. Some Upper elementary teachers like a table like this in addition to the platform for presentations. This is often especially good in multiple teacher classrooms. Other teachers are satisfied with only a platform. I recommend it only for Upper Elementary, if at all. The Toddler and Emerging lists were based on furniture I observed and measured in several Toddler classrooms, as well as the Emerging classroom at Elizabeth Academy, in Salt Lake City. I also received guidance from several Infant-Toddler practitioners and used lists from Juliana Group, Nienhuis, AMS, and MEPI.

I have not indicated cots for napping, storage units for napping, or changing tables. These items could be added if desired. The columns labeled Number indicate my recommendation of how many of that item should be procured. In that column the entry optional means that it is entirely up to the school and teachers whether or not to acquire that item. The entry suggested is a bit stronger. It means that it is recommended to get although not essential. A numeral such as 1 or 2 means do get that number of that item. When ordering any materials or furniture, be sure to check the order numbers and the current prices as these do change . Be sure to order very early to guarantee delivery. Please call me at 651-353-2109 or e-mail at [email protected] with any comments or questions. I want to help. Please do call me with anything.

Notes on Toddler Furniture: 1. Most Toddler classrooms also are equipped with one or two adult chairs per classroom, such as 1AM.24.74 (16 x 16 x 18). For each of these adult chairs also order Cushion for Adult Chair 1.AM.24.76.

These fit into the 15 pigeon hole cupboard.

Emerging Furniture The usual Toddler age range in most Montessori Centers is limited by state regulation at 16 or 18 months up to 30 or 36 months. However, in certain schools, the range is extended to older children with special needs, making the class not just a Toddler class but a Toddler plus environment, called Emerging. I suggest some basic simple altered furniture for the emerging class. Chairs, tables, and shelves need to be taller for the older children. Some of the shorter furniture may be replaced with taller furniture. I have listed no numbers per classroom since all of this furniture is essentially optional. Allocation of furniture will depend upon the ages of the older children (if any) and their developmental levels. Any of the furniture listed below may be added to the Toddler set or substituted for some of the Toddler furniture to equip an Emerging classroom.

Paragon Builders are in Salt Lake City. You may wish to use a local company to avoid shipping expenses. These fit into the 15 pigeon hole cupboard. November 1, 2016 ©Michael Dorer



Notes for Upper Elementary Furniture: 1. All shelf and divider units should be ordered with casters if possible. 2. You will also need two or three adult chairs per classroom, such as 1AM.24.74 (16 x 16 x 18). For each of these adult chairs also order Cushion for Adult Chair 1.AM.24.76.
