Collaborative Montessori

Celebrating our first reaccredited school, Storybook! Congrats to the team! Is your school accreditation expiring soon? contact us today to get started on your reaccreditation journey with us!

Collaborative Montessori went to Grude, Herzevigovina. Last week, Michela was invited by Violeta, the leading Bosnian manufacturer of personal and household care, to visit their Montessori kindergarten Vrtic Pony. Michela spent 3 days with the teachers and the children aged 18 months to 6 years observing and discussing Montessori best practices and further development opportunities. She said: “The teachers and the management at Pony have the Montessori philosophy in their hearts and this transpires so vividly in their practice!” Michela also had the pleasure of visiting the company’s care home. She says: “The commitment of the staff and of the management to their guests’ holistic care and the standard of the facilities are exemplary. Guests truly feel they are ‘home’ and are surrounded by their new family and friends.”
Thank you particularly to Ante and Angela from Violeta for this enriching opportunity.

Collaborative Montessori: The Heart of Montessori: Building Knowledge and Understanding through the Child’s Lens

Saturday June 7th, 2025 Time 10am- 12pm
Facilitated by : Sarah Olley and Hannah Joy
Join us for an engaging workshop on the Knowledge and Understanding curriculum in the Montessori classroom. This area of the curriculum is where we can truly follow the child, allowing their natural curiosity and interests to guide their learning. We will explore how this foundational aspect can be seamlessly woven through all curriculum areas, creating an environment that comes alive with the voices, experiences, and ideas of the children. Through rich, hands-on activities and a focus on meaningful discovery, we will learn how to nurture a classroom that reflects the unique individuality of each child, fostering a dynamic, vibrant learning space.

We had a lovely spring afternoon gathering in the garden in sunny London, collaborating and planning how best to serve the community, exciting things coming soon!

Join us for this workshop that explores the creative potential of the child and of the teacher as we share examples and ideas of ingenious activity across the Montessori Curriculum. Come on a short tour of unusual and sustainable artistic creations that will showcase human imagination at its best.

2hr live interactive session with attendance certificate: £20 per person

1hr recording: £10 per person

Montessori Conference 2025: Connecting and Belonging Get ready to celebrate and strengthen our community at The Montessori Conference 2025. Come to connect and leave belonging.

It is such a privilege to share books and stories with young children and to witness their excitement as they find out about letters and different sounds in the world around them. Join us in conversation as we re-evaluate the importance of indirect preparation for reading and writing in the Montessori environment as well as share pre and early literacy games, storytelling activities, phonemic awareness experiences and much more. Let’s explore together how to use early literacy materials and concepts in original and stress- free ways. Facilitated by : Michela and Hannah Khiani Registration link in bio!

We are excited to have Hannah K and Sarah speak at the Childhood Potential conference!

We are happy to announce another international accreditation, The Children’s House in the Seychelles! 🇸🇨 spent time with the teachers and students and this is what she has to say.

It has been a pleasure working with all the staff at The Children’s House Seychelles, Pre-school and Primary. Their hard work towards developing their Montessori practices in all stages of the process is humbling; the owner’s commitment to share the Montessori philosophy with the wider community and their children’s parents is inspiring. I thank you for an interesting, stimulating and enjoyable accreditation journey. Michela.

Congrats to this wonderful community!
