• Is My Child Ready for Montessori?
    Mar 22 2024

    As Montessorians, we believe the method has value for humans at every stage of life, starting at the earliest moments and continuing on until our final days. However, there are definitely periods when we are showing signs of readiness for something new. What are those signs? How do we know when our toddlers are ready to begin their journey with the Primary materials? Join Aubrey and David on YouTube as they explore this (very frequently asked) topic!

  • Supporting Your Child's Sensitivity to Order
    Mar 15 2024

    Something strange happens in the Primary years that doesn't happen to us as adults, and it has to do with order.

Understanding the child's sensitivity to order is key, so join us for an episode all about how to engage your Primary child. Plus, we'll be featuring our stegosaurus plates activity from our Constellation theme Dinosaur!
