The Montessori School Table: A Gateway to Independent Learning
In the Montessori educational approach, the environment is carefully crafted to support the child's natural curiosity and development. A cornerstone of this environment is the Montessori school table, which plays a crucial role in fostering independence and a love for learning. At Fern Kids, we recognize the importance of this essential piece of furniture, which is why our designs are thoughtfully created to enhance the Montessori learning experience.
Understanding the Montessori Table
The Montessori table is not just a piece of furniture; it is an instrument of direct work and handling. Contrary to normal school tables, Montessori tables are used with certain dimensions in mind and purpose. The size is specific to allow for the use of a Montessori tray, a piece of equipment that forms an essential part of the learning process of the children. These trays consist of various learning resources, every one of which is designed to teach a specific skill or a specific concept.
The Importance of Size and Design
With Montessori as the guiding principle in Fern Kids, the tables we use are as follows: The size of the table is not large so that young children can sit comfortably and be busy with their tasks without much intervention. This autonomy is very useful in the growth of concentration, mastering of motor activities and decision-making skills.
The area of the table’s top allows the Montessori trays to be seen by the students; in this way, students will be able to concentrate on one particular activity without being bothered by others. The trays are designed to be placed on the table and are of a convenient size which makes it possible for children to move easily from one activity to another. This uninterrupted continuity is a best practice for learning because it allows children to learn at their own pace.
Supporting the Learning Journey

In a way that caters for children’s developmental level, we are able to enable and allow children to be in charge of their own learning process. The right table backs curiosity, teaches patience and lays a solid foundation for learning to be a life-long adventure.
In conclusion, it is imperative that a Montessori school table be one of the key facets in preparation for a controlled learning environment. At Fern Kids, we are glad to have identified and adopted Montessori education basics in our supply of tables to support children to learn on their own.
