Module 1: Deschooling Yourself

Shift your mindset and step confidently into your role as a Montessori guide. This module walks you through the deschooling process, helps you assess where you're starting, and introduces key adult preparation practices. You'll explore the difference between classroom and homeschool Montessori, review curriculum resource options, learn how to plan effectively—and most importantly, set realistic expectations for your unique journey.

Module 2: The Environment

Learn how to create a child-centered, developmentally aligned Montessori environment at home. You’ll explore the purpose of prepared spaces, the role of shelves and materials, and how to distinguish between toys and true Montessori work. This module also covers practical life, transitional activities, and how to integrate Montessori seamlessly into your home—without needing to replicate a classroom.

Module 3: The Child

Deepen your understanding of your child’s needs as you transition into homeschooling. You’ll explore socialization, readiness, and the question, “Is Montessori a good fit for my child?” Get clarity on sensitive periods, the planes of development, and how to approach daily rhythms with confidence. This module also provides key conversations to have with your child as you prepare to shift your family’s learning path.

Module 4: Establishing a Work Cycle

Discover what a real Montessori work cycle looks like at home—and how to build one that works for your child. You’ll learn the difference between the Work Cycle and the Cycle of Work, how to guide a Montessori lesson, and what your role is during learning time. With day-by-day and week-by-week planning guidance by age, this module helps you move from confusion to consistency, while avoiding the common pitfalls of “newbie” overwhelm.
