Why choose Montessori education?
The hands-on practical life learning approach is appreciated by our family. Montessori education is not just a form of schooling, it is actually a way of living life. It embraces the the true learning capabilities of the child to care for themselves and for the adult to respect them as a person. To learn more, please visit "Let's Define the Montessori Method."

I have organized this section into categories by age and topic. I write about budget friendly Montessori (inspired) activities that can be found easily at your local stores or in your home. (As a stay-at-home mom, I also really love Amazon Prime.) I incorporate "non-authentic" Montessori materials into our learning spaces, because I am a practical mama who believes in using what is available and affordable. I also love to use authentic Montessori materials when I can find them second-hand or as we can afford them for a unit study.
