Help me give my students a clean, organized, and empowering space where they can:
Prepare and serve food independently.
Practice real-world dishwashing and care of materials
Strengthen independence and confidence through practical life work.
Hi, I’m a Montessori teacher passionate about creating an environment where students can build real-world skills through hands-on work. In a Montessori classroom, Practical Life activities like preparing food, washing dishes, and caring for the environment are essential parts of daily learning.
Right now, our students love participating in food prep and snack work, but we don't have a way to quickly and effectively sanitize their real dishes and tools.
Having a portable dishwasher would allow us to continue offering rich, authentic Practical Life experiences while maintaining a safe and healthy classroom environment.
Help give my students a clean, organized, and empowering space where they can:
Prepare and serve food independently
Practice real-world dishwashing and care of materials
Learn responsibility for maintaining a shared environment
Strengthen independence and confidence through Practical Life work
A portable dishwasher would make it possible for our classroom to safely and sustainably use real plates, cups, and utensils — just like in the real world — without relying solely on disposable materials. This small addition would have a huge impact on the authenticity and depth of our students' learning experiences.
Thank you for helping my students grow into capable, confident, and caring individuals through the power of Practical Life learning!
