MMP Ep 273: Exploring the Montessori Approach with Beth Wood

This week Jess sits down with Beth Wood of Our Montessori Life to chat all things Montessori! Beth is a 0-3 and 3-6 trained Montessori Guide and the owner of Our Montessori Life which is an educational consulting agency for homes, schools and communities looking to implement or refine Montessori principles in their environments. Beth specializes in implementing Cultural Studies, Peace Education and Conflict Resolution in classrooms and authentic Practical Life activities in Montessori homes. She also works with schools and homes to find resources that are inclusive and culturally diverse.

In this episode we chat the basics of what montessori is, how it began and how its evolved. We also dive into what questions you should ask a school if you're considering enrolling your children, what to expect in the classroom, the differences and similarities of montessori to other approaches, and so much more!

As always this is just us sharing our own unique experiences and is in no way meant as a commentary on YOUR unique life - we hope you enjoy our story
