A Message from our Founder
My Montessori journey began in 2008 with AMI Primary and Elementary certifications, a Master’s degree in Montessori, and Positive Discipline training. After over a decade in Montessori schools, I left in 2019 to homeschool my children, sharing our experiences through my blog and my free Second Plane Montessori Facebook group.
When the pandemic closed schools, I was inundated with messages from parents eager to embrace authentic Montessori practices at home. Unable to support every family individually, I launched Mainly Montessori, starting with short videos and an affordable membership, the Montessori Homeschool Hub. From there, we developed a video course, weekly Q&A sessions, and a homeschool-friendly Montessori Elementary curriculum tailored to families.
As Mainly Montessori evolved post-pandemic, we expanded to include Primary curriculum, a library of lesson videos, and stand-alone courses, all designed to empower parents. In 2024, Claire Paglia joined as our Primary mentor, enhancing support for families with younger children. We also introduced our private platform with free introductory content designed to demystify Montessori and make it more accessible.
Today, we’re proud to have supported thousands of families, helping them make Montessori education at home less overwhelming and more joyful. Join us on Facebook, Instagram, or in our free parenting community to connect with like-minded parents. Thank you for trusting us to guide you on your Montessori journey!
Our mission is to make Montessori education accessible, enjoyable, and achievable for families around the world.
“The secret of good teaching is to regard the child’s intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination. Our aim therefore is not merely to make the child understand, and still less to force him to memorize, but so to touch his imagination as to enthuse him to his inmost core.”
— Maria Montessori
