It's not a hard and fast concept, but it is the ideal as far as I'm aware.
As far as I'm aware, traditional Montessori has separate classrooms for birth-3, 3-6, 6-9, 9-12, etc. They just stay in the same room with the same teacher for three years. There are, however, separate classrooms to address the very different needs of different ages.
