Little Poppies Montessori Family Day Care

Things like a little different for Little Poppies these days... The children got bigger, and I went back to being a Child & Family Therapist.

I am so excited that my newest creation is having such a positive impact on mums and their daughters already.

Flourishing Girls Journey is running again in April. This is a parallel journey for Mothers & Daughters, where we hold space in a face-to-face setting for Daughters, accompanied by an online container for Mums. In this space, videos explain what the girls are learning each week, and Mums are given practical tools to support their daughter's growth, and arm them with confidence in their parenting.

Little Poppies is very excited to be bringing child lead education to Ipswich. Please help support our efforts where you can, and if you'd like more info please let me know!

We've been busy making a beautiful new little poppy! It's very exciting learning about Montessori for infants, & I'm falling in love with this philosophy all over again. Here is Mr 11 weeks just LOVING the Munari infant mobile I've just put back up for him over his change table.

This, right here, is the greatest pleasure in what I do. Today three of these beautiful children all mastered different activities they've been practicing for various amounts of time... Puzzles, sound boxes, sensorial materials... I stood quietly, unobtrusively, with tears in my eyes as I watched the pride they all felt. It was such a privilege to see.

This is why we Montessori.

This sunshine is too perfect not to play in!!

Huge congratulations to our friend Tara at Bluebird Montessori Family Day Care for her nomination as family day care educator of the year

I wanted to share this really special picture with everyone... Montessori isn't a thing. It's not a particular toy or a game. While the resources & tools we give our children to use are really important, montessori in & of itself isn't really tangible at all. Montessori is a philosophy. An educational approach. A way of life.

This is my one year old cherub learning how to cut with her new kiddicutter knife. Standing on stool at our kitchen bench. Actually helping me prep for dinner. Was it the fastest way to prep? No. The tidiest? No. Did she get it first go? No. But she did learn. She did engage. She did enjoy. She did feel a sense of pride when the cut the zucchini in half. She did smile when I thanked her for helping me. And she did actually do a real job. Watching little people learn is the most precious gift I think life can offer 😍

After being introduced to Montessori last year I have seen first hand how incredible this pedagogy truly is. I am determined to see a Montessori education available to my children, in our wonderful Ipswich City. I have started a collective of similarly passionate parents who are determined to use people power to make this dream, a reality.

If you're in Ipswich, and share my passion, please head over & join our community. Together, we can pool our skills, knowledge, resources, & strength, to make Montessori Magic happen for our kids!!
