Lynda Apostol created the Prepared Adult Method™ to help families bring Montessori out of the classroom and into real life—where parenting, learning, and living are aligned, not compartmentalized. Her work empowers parents to become self-organized, conscious leaders of their child’s education and their own lives.

She launched The Montessori Teacher™ as a homebase for high-fidelity Montessori, alternative education, and generational healing—whether you’re supplementing traditional school, leading a micro-school, or designing a new model entirely.
