Researchers reviewed 32 studies and came back with a clear answer. If you've ever wondered whether Montessori is worth it, this one's for you!

New Meta Study: Montessori Education Leads to Positive Student Outcomes A recent meta-analysis of Montessori research may help put the debate to rest: Montessori does have a robust positive effect on students’ academic and non-academic outcomes.

Is your child playing alone? Good. Don't interrupt!

Independent play is one of the most valuable gifts you can give your child (and yourself!). When a child is deeply engaged, their brain is building focus, creativity, and problem-solving capacity.

Happy World Book Day!

The best thing you can do for your child's literacy? Read to them. Every single day.

Happy Earth Day! 🌍💚

Today, we celebrate our beautiful planet and how it dances through space!

In the Montessori elementary classroom, a simple yarn ball on a string and a styrofoam ball on a dowel become powerful teaching tools as children discover Earth's two magnificent movements:

🌀 ROTATION - Earth spinning on its axis (hello, day and night!)
🌀 REVOLUTION - Earth orbiting the sun in its elliptical path (hello, seasons!)

The real fun is when children take turns becoming the Earth, spinning on their axes as they walk in circles around the "sun." They experience the cosmic dance through their own bodies.

This is the Montessori approach. We help children feel, see, and embody abstract concepts.

Fortunately for us, our Earth never gets dizzy and keeps moving: rotating and revolving every day around our sun! 💫

This Earth Day, we honor our planet by helping children truly understand and appreciate the magnificent movements that make life possible.
