Montessori Discipline: Developing Inner Discipline Through Freedom and Structure

Upon visiting a Montessori classroom the first time, one might wonder what magic spell has been cast upon these young children making them so calm and self-directed. Another person might look at that same class and be confused by the children’s independence, wondering where’s the discipline? These children just do as they please. Visitors commonly issue such comments as, “I’ve heard Montessori is too free and chaotic,” or “I’ve heard Montessori is too structured.” It does not seem possible...

The Parenting Puzzle – Annual License for School Use

Whether your school families have toddlers, teenagers, or anywhere in between, this course gives you and your key staff members the tools to facilitate a predesigned five-week Montessori family life class, The Parenting Puzzlelive at your school, taking advantage of the years of experience and hard work that it took to develop it, while leading families at your school through meaningful and transformative discussions.

 For years, parents have gladly paid for live parenting education courses but, until now, none has specifically focused on Montessori parenting.

A typical five-session/five-week parenting course costs $150 to $300 for a parenting couple. Schools that offer these courses will do so three or four times a year, with five to ten couples participating.  

Do the math If your school offers a parenting class 3 times a year and just 5 couples sign up for each session, paying only $150 per couple, you will earn $2,250, while creating deep engagement with 30 moms and dads. 

So, would you like to be able to present the Parenting Puzzle at your school?

Our school licensing fee is just $950 a year.  It allows you to offer the Parenting Puzzle in person to as many parents, prospective families, or even teachers and staff members as you wish.

  • There is no limit to how many times you run the course.
  • There are no additional fees due for each family that enrolls.
  • You set the dates and price that you feel are reasonable.
  • If you wish, your live participants can have access to the online version of the course.
  • If you have families who want to take the Parenting Puzzle online only, we can set up a partnership program, where your school earns a percentage of their registration fee.
  • And, if you wish, your parents can receive a certificate of completion from the Montessori Family Alliance.

Your school license will include:

  • Facilitator's Guide video orientation
  • Facilitator's Guide pdf
  • Access to the online course

The Parenting Puzzle : The Basics

ontessori is not only an incredible educational method but it’s also a way of life! What children learn in Montessori becomes part of their being. Sure they learn to read and write and do math, but more than that they learn how to learn; they learn how to be part of a community; they learn how to articulate their ideas confidently; they learn how to listen and seek to understand; they learn how to take care of themselves; and they learn how to solve problems. As parents,...

Professional Development

Staff professional development can be expensive. Especially during a pandemic, schools don't have the option to send their teachers, administrators, or boards off to conferences or retreat centers for renewal and inspiration. The Montessori Foundation offers the convenience of online professional development. With modern internet communications, more and more schools are finding that live, two-way video conferencing provides the least expensive way to have someone from our teamwork with...
