"I'm just so excited that I found The Montessori Room. I have a one year old grandson and I research toys endlessly, especially educational toys but if you're like me, that research can be time consuming and exhaustive. I feel like the research part has been done for me by the wonderful team at the Montessori Room and all I have to do is pick and I can't go wrong! Not only that, the website is so well organized and easy to navigate, the follow-up emails confirm order, address and delivery and the items arrived in one day in perfect condition. Communication was friendly and responsive and the best part? It feels great to support a local business with a huge selection of Canadian made items... Thank-you, Thank-you! I've found "the" store for me..."

A GroClock is a clock that provides a visual aid to teach children when it is time to sleep and when it is time to wake up.
When can I use the GroClock to increase sleep time?
It is important not to introduce the GroClock too early, when children are too young to understand the difference between nighttime symbols (blue screen/sleeping Ollie) and daytime symbols (yellow screen/awake Ollie).

No!
Children do not need to tell time in order to successfully use a GroClock.

Does the GroClock make noise?
No, it is silent but an audible morning alarm can be set for older children.
Can the GroClock be used as a night light?
Yes, it can be used as a night light and the screen brightness is adjustable.
Can I set more than one wake up time?
