For Montessori Educators
Practical resources, professional learning, and support for the important work you do with children and families.
At The Montessori Group, we offer practical tools and learning to support your work with children and your partnerships with families. Deepen your understanding of Montessori principles, strengthen your practice, and discover thoughtful approaches to the everyday challenges of guiding children and supporting families.
Helping Parents Support Independence at Home
Supporting independence in the classroom is one thing. Helping families carry those principles into everyday life at home can be much harder.
This practical guide offers ideas and language you can use to help parents recognize their child's capabilities and create more opportunities for independence at home.
