Beginnings

Let's give our babies and toddlers the best possible start into their lives!

The Ultimate Montessori Masterclass Series for Zero to Three

Are you a parent, caregiver, or educator of an infant or a toddler?

Do you often find yourself wondering how to get your child to cooperate or how to navigate discipline the Montessori way?

Are you curious how to enable independence and confidence in these youngest members of your families and classrooms? 

We all want to see our children thrive... 

But sometimes, the parenting journey can get difficult, right? 

We get so many emails and comments from you, parents from all over the world, going through different emotions and kinds of situations...

Do these comments sound familiar to you? 

  • "I try to be positive, calm and loving, but all I get is whining, tantrums and meltdowns. Sometimes I feel lost and I have no idea what to do."
  • "Being at home with my child feels lonely. And when we finally meet with some other families with children, our son keeps on hitting other children, screaming and throwing things. I am having very hard time to keep my calm."
  • "The constant testing of boundaries is driving me crazy! I say "no" and she goes and does the exact thing! I feel like a guard and not like a mother."
  • "Sometimes I worry about whether I'm doing a good job raising my child. I feel like I am not meeting my child's needs or that I am not competent as a parent."
  • "I try to offer activities to my son to support his development. Everything looks so perfect on instagram. But our home never looks like this and my son is often not interested at all with what I prepare. What a frustration!"
  • "I feel overwhelmed and exhausted. Sometimes taking care of my children is already physically and emotionally demanding and then when it comes to my daughter's picky eating or evening bed battles, it is just too much. "

Testimonials

What people say about our lecturers and other courses

I just wanted to express my sincere gratitude to Charlotte and the Montessori Parenting team for this wonderful series of videos. Charlotte has a delightful and very mindful approach to education that has particularly resonated with me. I devoured her words as if I was reading a book (in fact I think she should write a book).
Sara Loureiro da Luz
The topics were designed to really get the message of Dr. Maria Montessori across this modern age. As a first time mother of a 6 month old child, it gave me a jumpstart on applying Montessori not only in the materials I present to my child, but more importantly in living the Montessori lifestyle. I specifically loved and learned a lot from the topics on positive parenting and I am hoping that I get to really apply it in real life.
Dianne
After listening to some of the sessions, right away I noticed myself being more relaxed with my son and less caught up in what he should be doing. I'm enjoying him more, observing his curiosity and allowing him the opportunity to show me what he is capable of and interested in. It has led to greater cooperation and made the days smoother and more enjoyable. Well done!
