About
At The Montessori Teacher, we don’t just teach Montessori; we empower you to live it. We provide the tools, strategies, and guidance you need to create an authentic Montessori home that nurtures both your child’s love of learning and your confidence as an educator.
My journey from a traditional classroom to becoming a dedicated Montessori homeschool coach was shaped by a desire to break free from rigid educational systems and empower both children and parents to learn authentically. After years of teaching, obtaining my Montessori certification, and even guiding new Montessori teachers, I realized the most impactful learning happens at home—where parents can truly “follow the child.” In 2020, I left my career to fully embrace homeschooling, discovering a deeper fulfillment and a balanced, intentional way of life that I now help other families achieve

What Is Montessori Homeschool & Why It Matters
More Than Just Activities, It’s a Method & Way of Life
The Montessori method, developed by Dr. Maria Montessori in the early 1900s, is an educational approach based on her scientific observations of children’s learning processes. An Italian physician and educator, Dr. Montessori opened her first school, the Casa dei Bambini, in Rome in 1907. She believed that children learn best in a prepared environment that encourages independence, freedom within limits, and respect for a child’s natural psychological development. Her method emphasizes hands-on, self-directed learning with specially designed materials, fostering a child’s natural desire to learn. Over time, the Montessori method gained international recognition and has been adopted in schools worldwide, known for its focus on individualized learning and nurturing the whole child.
