Hygiene/Self-Care Station

Dr. Montessori wrote, “Everyone knows that it requires much more time and patience to teach a child how to eat, wash, and
clothe himself than it does to feed, bathe, and clothe him by oneself. The one who does the former is an educator.”

Investing extra time to show your child how to do things independently will provide him with confidence that no amount of “help” can give.

Setting up a self-care station is one method of empowering a child to participate in washing, brushing, and dressing.
