ChiIL Reviews: Kids Academy Apps With a Montessori Twist For iPhone and Android #FreeKidsApp #EducationalApps #MomBuzz #AD

Here at ChiIL Mama, my kids are past preschool, but many of our readers are still in those early years. So we're still more than happy to review and recommend educational apps, toys, books and gear that help grow little brains and keep toddler moms sane. My kids were Montessori educated from the age of 3 up and it's an awesome method! Check out these apps to give your littles a head start with a Montessori twist. We had a chance to review the 3 early childhood apps below and recommend all 3, especially the Montessori Math.
