Home Consultations: Montessori Learning at Home
Sometimes we parents need a little more guidance than we can get from reading books and websites as we learn about the Montessori approach, and so I am here to help!
During a home consultation I will visit your home to give you 1-1 advice and information based on your child and families needs, and answer your questions. And yes, it’s perfectly fine to have your child with you, in fact it’s really helpful!
I have developed some popular consultation topics to choose from, based on FAQ’s from families. For those needing something else, just let me know what you need. There is a contact form at the bottom of this page which will come straight through to my email address, or you can contact me on Facebook, SMS, or call me too.
Don’t forget to check if our Montessori Playgroup has a Montessori for Dummies session coming up soon, as this will give you an excellent overview of the Montessori approach, and a heads up before your home consultation!
