What people are saying about The Course…
“Each week we felt engaged in the subject matter and excited to implement new strategies, and you were such an informative and comforting presence to electronically welcome into our home.”
“I feel well prepared to utilize the info from the course. It has allowed me to think more from my child's perspective and has made me better able to be less controlling - to let him explore more things and make more messes. I feel he is better able to develop skills and feel more autonomy.”
“We left each class feeling prepared to implement new strategies. We were particularly excited about observation, room design, limit setting, and ideas for ‘work’ activities.”
“The course was amazing.”
“Such a great course!”
“I learned so much from this course, and I took about 10 pages of notes each class.”

Excited and hopeful about getting to spend this time with your new infant or toddler and would like some guidance to start off with confidence?
Bringing a nanny into your home for the first time and want to make sure you’re all on the same page about child-rearing practices?
Let’s get together virtually to create a loving, intentional, Montessori-inspired environment in your home for your 0-3 year old.
In addition to practical ideas for your physical space, this course will…
Give you the knowledge for how to evolve your space as your child grows,
Teach you the observation skills necessary to understand your child’s natural learning process, and
Provide peaceful, respectful strategies for early limit-setting that supports connection and independence.

Toddlers love to help in the kitchen from an early age. Let’s talk about how to support that happening in your kitchen!
Providing a small table and chairs supports independence for young toddlers.
“Our care of the child should be governed, not by the desire to make him learn things, but by the endeavor always to keep burning within him that light which is called intelligence.”
― Maria Montessori
“Posting” is a favorite work of young toddlers.
Learning to observe the individual child and their interests helps us determine their readiness for the next step; in this case, drinking from a glass.
