Montessori Preschool is a benchmark for what educational apps should be. As an expert in digital pedagogy, I often find apps that call themselves 'Montessori' but are actually just loud, distracting games. This app is the exception. It respects the child's pace and follows the 'concrete-to-abstract' learning path perfectly.
The interface is delightfully tactile. When a child 'traces' a letter, the friction and sound provide sensory feedback that mimics the sandpaper letters used in physical classrooms. The breadth of content—from nursery rhymes to basic coding logic—is astounding. It’s a safe, comprehensive digital classroom that actually encourages off-screen curiosity. It is well worth the subscription for parents who value quality early-childhood education.
Certified Montessori curriculum
Interactive 'tracing' and 'counting' tools
Safe, ad-free environment
Regularly updated with new content
Start with the 'Practical Life' section. These simple tasks build the finger strength and focus required for the more advanced Math and Language modules.
The app uses 'control of error'—if a child makes a mistake, the game gently allows them to try again without negative sounds, mirroring the Montessori classroom experience.
The app offers a free trial with limited content, followed by a subscription for full access to the entire curriculum.
Our daughter loves this app!! We originally signed her up when she was 3 yrs old but she’s still loving it at 4 too. There’s practical play along with basic Montessori principles. Simple visual and auditory aids are such a nice break from the fluorescent colors and loud sounds which usually accompany children’s games and apps. We’ve also printed out the PDFs that come with the app for her to color and she loves it. Upon switching devices we had a problem and reached out to customer service which was extremely quick to reply and very helpful to solve our issue. The cost of the app may seem pricey but IMO it is well worth it.
I downloaded this for my 3 year old to do at home. He usually attends a bilingual Montessori school. I figured I’ll let the trial period transfer to the monthly subscription if he liked it. Much to my disgust, I discovered that the trial automatically transfers to a $65/year annual subscription instead of the monthly subscription. I wasn’t even given an option to choose monthly or annual. Totally unethical! Who does that? Now that I’ve already been charged I know they won’t want to refund me at all even though I cancelled it. They count on people not noticing this so they can charge you the full amount. I wouldn’t mind the $65 charge so much if I thought the app was worth it, but it’s not. It’s not very intuitive on what are the actual activities vs what’s random stuff in the classroom that just makes sounds. Also, why is there not cursive hand writing lessons in this app? That’s part of the core Montessori learning experience. My friend recommended Kahn Academy Kids to me as a 100% free alternative (no trial). It loads faster, has better content, and has a more intuitive layout. I would rather pay $65/year for that than for this Montessori Preschool app. If I was refunded the annual fee less a 1 month subscription fee I would consider changing my review to 4 stars.
The new science section focuses more on being 3D because it’s cool than actually providing any real educational value. It’s just a place you can interact with a setting. What are the lessons? Montessori means skill isolated activities where children are able to determine for themselves if they completed the task. The skills are scaffolding. There isn’t even a task in these activities. Not what I’m paying money for and I can’t even turn the section off. Also does the robot that rattles off facts when you click it need to explain macro evolution to my 3 year old? I was hoping to save that conversation for preteen years. Overall please just stick with the original app format. It has more quality learning in activities and the 2d is more cohesive for the app over all. If you’re determined to stick with 3d and use up my storage space at least make thoughtful lessons. This is the only children’s app my children use please please don’t turn it more video game than learning game
This is not a free app as advertised. You can’t do a single thing without subscribing. The subscription cost is absurdly high when you consider how many apps offer at least SOME of this type of content for free. The preview they offer isn’t enough to entice me into doing a free trial, especially when it seems “free trials” for apps are meant to dupe people into paying the subscription. I didn’t see ANY promise of continued content being produced, so why would someone do a monthly or yearly subscription? That’s like a textbook book, with a finite amount of content, coming with a monthly subscription rate. Umm, no thanks. I might pay a flat rate for it if the preview made it look worth it, but it definitely doesn’t seem worth subscribing. My daughter is 2.5 years old and she’d be done with all the matching, sorting, color, shapes and a couple other things in the preview after about an hour. If there’s more to explore for her developmental range, I didn’t see it in the preview.
My older daughter downloaded this for my younger daughter without my knowledge. I was charged before I realized it but when I did (the next day) I cancelled and requested a refund. I was denied twice. I have been told the only resolution is to file a dispute with my bank, after which point I will be locked out of my App Store account. Customer service with Apple provides no resolution and I was told it was an automated system that denied my refund request and that there is no human process to override it. What horrible customer service from Apple, but also how on earth can a kids app not come with understanding that kids might make an accidental purchase and quick refunds not be provided in that instance? This feels so scammy to me and I don’t know if the app is behind it or Apple or both but I am not happy.
My son started using Montessori Preschool when he was 2. He is 3.5 now and I am continually amazed by how much he has absorbed from using the app on a regular basis. I love that it gives him freedom to explore concepts independently, just like in an actual Montessori classroom. I also love that there are plenty of opportunities for the two of us to play together. He loves pretending to teach me about different concepts. We reinforce concepts when we teach others, so it is a joy to see him doing that at such a young age. If I could suggest *anything*, it would be the addition of Spanish and French. Or at least on of them :) Also, more simplified games around learning the actual music scale. If developers happen to read this, the music learning portion in the ‘Endless Learning Academy’ app could provide some cool inspiration. We have a subscription to that app as well, but mainly use it for their ear training game. Thank you, Edoki Academy for a beautiful app! You are an integral part of my son’s early education! 😊
It’s the only game we let our toddler play. It’s fully educational and yet it keeps his engagement. It has enough parental control option and with apples guided access mode it works perfectly for our 3 yr old since he was 1. I didn’t want him addicted to tech but I feel like knowing tech is going to be important moving forward and this is a great step in the right direction without all the bright colors and annoying/super rewarding sounds. Has been a great game for at least my son age 1-3. We all love it thus far 2 years.
The app is very good with a lot of variety, my daughter really engaged with it for the time we had it-she’s just turned 7 so we aren’t keeping it simply because she’s growing out of that stage. BUT I would say it’s a very good app for kids up to 5 or 6. Covers a lot of different subjects without the kids noticing. It’s similar to PBS cute-ness. I had trouble cancelling the subscription now that it’s usefulness is past, but they have sent information to help me contact them directly, so it seems they value customer service as well. Another plus.
