Raising Yannis


“Montessori has allowed me to be intentional with my children. It was the guide we needed as first-time parents who were looking for a different parenting style.


“With the newborns, the talking stage was my favorite. My boys are very vocal. It started with the baby talk, so we followed their lead and continued the conversation.


“I wished I’d taken the time to embrace our Montessori journey at home. During our first year, I was very focused on making our home identical to a Montessori classroom. This caused a lot of confusion and difficulty for us and my child, until we decided to embrace this journey from our home. Montessori at home is amazing and very flexible.


“Montessori is a lifestyle; if used properly, it can help establish a healthy bond. My advice to new parents would be to live what you want your children to learn.”
