Real.Fun.Montessori.
So you’re ready to do Montessori at home! Fantastic! We have a comprehensive system that will not only help you get a strong start in homeschooling your child but will also give you full access to thousands of fun, easy, inspiring lessons across the core subject areas.
Here’s how it works.
Step 1. Get the Lessons.
Start homeschooling your child today by downloading the current month’s theme, full of fun, hands-on lessons. All of our thematic lessons are fully scripted and come with all of the printable materials you need.
Just Print, Cut, and Start Teaching… Easy as 1-2-3.
Our lessons are designed to be fun and playful for the whole family, so they are designed to fit a wide age range (2-9).
You’ll get tips for how to simplify lessons for the little ones and increase the complexity for more advanced or older learners.
Every lesson comes with a materials list and how-to explanations or illustrations so that you always know exactly how to present the material.
❤️ You’ll love the hands-on activities.
🤓 You’ll geek out with the science experiments.
🧨 And did we mention how reading, writing, and math fits seamlessly into every theme?
Take a sneak-peek inside one of our theme packets right now. With all of our membership plans, you get a brand new theme every month!
Step 2. Add the Foundational Lessons.
With our Complete Curriculum and Unlimited plans, you can choose to take one or more of our Foundations of Montessori courses at your leisure! Learn the authentic Montessori method right from the comfort of your own home.
It’s top notch mentorship at your fingertips.
Have a 2, 3, 4, or 5 year old? You’ll want our Primary course. Have a 6, 7, 8, or 9 year old? Choose Lower Elementary. Have more than one child in different age groups? Excellent. You can learn the Montessori method for BOTH!
Each course is laid out in an simple, instant-access format, and you’ll be learning from Aubrey, an experienced, lifelong Montessorian and full-time homeschooler.
You can binge right through if time is of the essence, or you can join a cohort for live, interactive coaching and pace along with us.
Either way, you’ll be introduced to every subject area that you’ll be teaching your child.
You’ll also learn how to observe and document, and give lessons like a pro. Want to teach your child how to read or do mathematical operations like addition or division? You’ll become your child’s very best teacher!
Each of the Foundational courses comes with Step-by-Step Lessons for every subject area and in order of difficulty. (Step-by-Step Editions for Lower Elementary releasing Fall 2024).
Simply start with the Level 1 lessons and progress sequentially through our curriculum.
Worried about covering them all? Don’t stress! All of our thematic lessons correspond directly to our foundational lessons, so you’ll be working your way through them before you know it!
Step 3. Deal Your Weekly Cards.
So now you’ve got a strong foundation and you’re ready to teach. It’s time to do some planning.
We know… it’s tempting to skip the planning. That’s why you see so many prescriptive homeschool curriculums out there that claim to do all of the planning for you… but the reality is that these systems are faulty.
Remember that the best educational approach is a holistic one, individualized for each child.
You want to nurture your child’s strengths and let them soar while coaching them sequentially through the skills that are harder for them. Your child needs you to be fully aware of their current level and skills, and a workbook-style curriculum cannot provide this.
Our innovative Montessori Planning Cards make planning, observing, and documenting your child’s progress through the Montessori curriculum is as easy as…
✅ Selecting a Planning card
✅ Picking a lesson from that card, then
✅ Checking off what you’ve done!
But you don’t need to exhaust yourself doing it staying up after your child goes to bed or giving up your weekends! You need an easy method that is replicable week by week.
💗 We have the perfect solution, and you’re going to love it. 💗
And our Planning Cards make it easy to blend your thematic learning lessons with your foundational lessons, like reading and practical life.
Each week, you’ll select a new Constellation card — provided in the theme of the month packet — then add four Foundation cards, based on your child’s Level.
Now you’ve done your planning for the week!
Step 4. Teach Your Child.
You’ve prepped, printed, and planned. Now it’s time to have some real fun! Let’s Teach! Child of the Redwoods is with you every step of the way.
