I am sorry I wasn't clearer, my youngest is 17mths and I wish I had access to the space and materials of a good quality 3-4yr old preschool, Monty or otherwise, to play in with her now. She wants to be playing with peg boards and other fine motor type toys. So yes I think my kids would love Montessori materials younger than normal, but there is still the issue of not needing each one for long.
