Sensitive Periods in Montessori are very important.
They’re like our guides to make our lives and our children’s lives so much easier.
In this post, I will share with you an essential and very helpful printable Montessori Sensitive Periods development chart and information about it.
Maria Montessori introduced sensitive periods in children.
These time ranges point out when a child is more likely to be “open” or “ready” to learn certain developmental skills.
It makes your Montessori at home life easier because you are not guessing when to introduce which concepts to children and you aren’t getting frustrated forcing concepts on a child who isn’t ready.
The result? A happier parent and a happier child.
Please remember to visit our resources hub for Montessori Curriculum 3-6 homeschool printable activities and lessons!
It is full of wonderful hands-on ideas for you to use at home.

Montessori Quotes on Sensitive Periods
Maria Montessori saw these sensitive periods in children as very important.

Below are some quotes by Maria Montessori about her method and sensitive periods.
“Respect all the reasonable forms of activity in which the child engages and try to understand them.”
― Maria Montessori
“To stimulate life, leaving it free, however, to unfold itself–that is the first duty of the educator.”
― Maria Montessori“The essence of independence is to be able to do something for one’s self.”
― Maria Montessori“Our work is not to teach, but to help the absorbent mind in its work of development. How marvelous it would be if by our help, if by an intelligent treatment of the child, if by understanding the needs of his physical life and by feeding his intellect, we could prolong the period of functioning of the absorbent mind!”
― Maria Montessori, The Absorbent Mind“In our system, she must become a passive, much more than an active, influence, and her passivity shall be composed of anxious scientific curiosity, and of absolute respect for the phenomenon which she wishes to observe.”
― Maria Montessori, The Montessori Method
