We have some not-so-fun news to share, and we want to be transparent about some big changes ahead for Fern Montessori. After much thought and many conversations, we’ve decided to put Fern on pause.
Dreaming up Fern and bringing it to life has been such an incredible journey. It has truly been an honor to create Montessori-inspired sensory play for children and to see our kits bring learning and play into so many homes. This venture has always been a labor of love, and as our families grow and change (a huge congratulations to Kate, who is pregnant!!!), we’ve come to the difficult realization that we need to shift our priorities and pour more into our families than our business right now.
This was not an easy decision. We are deeply grateful for every subscriber and customer who chose to support our small business. Your encouragement, purchases, and shared moments of play have meant more to us than we can say. What a fulfilling ride it has been!
While we’re not entirely sure what the future holds, we want to sincerely thank you for being part of our journey.
We will be releasing one final kit (for now!) “Mini Mariners” on March 1st at 10am EST. If you are a current subscriber, your March kit will be your final subscription kit. We will manually cancel all subscriptions, so there is nothing you need to do.
If you have any questions at all, please feel free to email us directly.
Thank you for supporting Fern and making our small business a reality over the past year and a half! We are pausing with gratitude and so much love for our community. Thank you for growing with us. 🤍
Emily + Kate
