The Little Montessori may earn a commission when readers make qualifying purchases through certain links on this website.
Those commissions can help support the research, writing, maintenance, and product analysis involved in running the site.
They do not make a product more suitable for a child, improve its quality, remove its limitations, or guarantee that we will recommend it.
Our editorial decisions are intended to stand independently of the commission attached to a link.
An affiliate link contains tracking information that allows a retailer, brand, marketplace, or affiliate network to identify a referral from The Little Montessori.
If you follow one of these links and complete an eligible purchase, we may receive a commission.
The exact rules depend on the individual affiliate program, including:
You are never required to use an affiliate link to purchase a product we discuss.
Usually, using an affiliate link does not add a separate fee to your purchase.
The retailer generally pays the commission.
However, we do not control retailer pricing, discounts, shipping charges, taxes, promotions, or other purchase terms. The final amount shown by the retailer at checkout is the price that applies.
Running The Little Montessori involves more than publishing product links.
Affiliate revenue may help support work such as:
Monetization helps fund the work. It should not dictate the answer.
The fact that a product is available through an affiliate program does not make it worthy of inclusion.
Likewise, a useful product may still appear in our content even when:
We would rather mention a stronger non-affiliate option than limit a comparison to whichever products happen to generate revenue.
Commercial pages may use labels such as:
Those labels should reflect the reasoning presented on the page.
A higher commission does not automatically move a product higher in a comparison.
Factors that may matter instead include:
Our review methodology explains how we compare Montessori toys.
A monetized product can still have meaningful drawbacks.
If something is:
we should be able to say so.
Affiliate content that only presents reasons to buy would not meet our editorial standard.
Some guides may be published before The Little Montessori is accepted into relevant affiliate programs.
Those pages can still include useful buying information such as:
If affiliate relationships become available later, we may add appropriate merchant links without changing the underlying editorial purpose of the page.
Pages containing affiliate links should include a clear disclosure close to the commercial content.
Our standard disclosure is:
Disclosure: The Little Montessori may earn a commission from qualifying purchases made through links on this page, at no additional cost to you.
The wording may be adjusted when an affiliate program or applicable rule requires different language.
A standalone disclosure page should not be the only place readers can learn that a commercial relationship exists.
Where appropriate, affiliate links should use the rel=”sponsored” attribute.
Technical implementation may vary depending on the retailer, network, plugin, or publishing platform, but the commercial nature of the link should not be disguised.
The Little Montessori may work with:
Those relationships are not necessarily permanent.
Programs can close, merchants can leave networks, commission structures can change, and products can move between retailers.
Editorial coverage should not need to disappear simply because the monetization arrangement changes.
A product may sometimes be available from several merchants.
Where useful, we may consider factors such as:
We do not guarantee that a merchant linked from our site will always offer the lowest price or best purchase terms.
Readers should compare current retailer information before ordering.
The Little Montessori does not control:
These details can change after a page is published.
Where current price or stock matters to your decision, verify it with the retailer before purchasing.
Affiliate programs may use cookies or similar tracking technologies to determine whether a purchase should be attributed to a referral from The Little Montessori.
The specific technology and attribution window vary between programs.
Third-party networks and retailers control their own tracking systems.
Our Privacy Policy explains how third-party technologies may relate to use of the website.
A brand may provide a product for editorial evaluation.
Receiving a sample is different from earning an affiliate commission, although both relationships could exist for the same product.
If a provided product meaningfully contributes to our coverage, that relationship should be disclosed where appropriate.
A free product does not guarantee:
Hands-on access can improve the evidence available to us. It does not purchase the conclusion.
Affiliate content generally means we may earn money if a reader completes a qualifying transaction after using a tracked link.
Sponsored content generally involves payment or another material arrangement connected directly with the content itself.
If The Little Montessori publishes sponsored content or a paid collaboration, we aim to identify that relationship clearly rather than present paid placement as ordinary independent editorial coverage.
Brands and retailers cannot purchase an independent editorial label such as:
A paid placement, if we ever accept one, should be identified as commercial rather than disguised as an independent ranking.
An affiliate relationship does not cause us to automatically accept product claims.
We may still scrutinize statements involving:
If a claim cannot be reasonably supported, we may omit or qualify it even when the product is monetized.
If credible safety information changes what we know about a recommended product, we may:
We do not keep a product recommended simply because it generates affiliate income.
Our Product Safety & Recalls policy explains how we handle safety-related updates.
When you purchase something after following a link from The Little Montessori, the transaction is between you and the retailer.
The Little Montessori does not:
Questions about an order should be directed to the retailer or manufacturer involved.
Affiliate programs provide a method of monetization.
They do not transfer editorial responsibility to the merchant.
Our commercial pages should still be reviewed for:
The standards governing that work are set out in our Editorial Policy.
