Nido through Erdkinder

A living map of the whole child.

SproutMap Montessori turns the observations a guide already writes into a map of each child's growth across eight dimensions — anchored to the planes of development, traceable to the moment of work that produced it.

Free for a guide with one classroom. A shared record when the school is ready.

No grades. No ranking. No child compared to another.

A child's growth map across eight Montessori dimensions Eight spokes labelled Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Mathematics, Cultural Studies, Grace and Courtesy, Movement and Coordination, and Creative Expression. Four concentric rings mark Practicing, Reinforcing, Independent and Secure. An organic terracotta shape grows outward across three successive snapshots of the same child.

What it is

The Montessori record, made visible.

The map moves for exactly one reason: a guide watched a child work and wrote down what it revealed. There is no other input, no side door, and no way to move a child's shape without leaving a record of why.

Growth, not a snapshot

Every observation lands on a monthly snapshot, so the map is a time series, not a report-card moment. Scrub back three years and watch the shape fill out.

Anchored to the planes

Ceilings at 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 — Montessori's own sub-planes. Within a plane the reference age holds steady, so nothing resets in September and nothing decays.

Every point has a story

Tap any dimension and read the observations behind it — the material, the date, the guide, and what they wrote. Nothing on the map is unsourced.

Grounded, not themed

Plenty of software puts a Montessori label on a standards tracker. The planes here were checked against the source texts before a line of the model was drawn. A trained guide will look — it holds up.

Your vocabulary throughout

Guides, children, environments, materials, works and presentations — and your school's own level names, department labels and year start.
