Montessori Doula can come to you, letting you and your child learn in the comfort of your own home

Home-Based: The original Montessori school was called “Children’s House” in Italian, where a mix of ages flourished alongside one another in a space that was filled with child-sized furniture. The kitchen, a bedroom, the sunroom–anywhere can be a classroom.

Family Friendly: Young children can learn alongside siblings, both by direct and indirect instruction, by individual and group lessons, by the words that we say, our actions and by our example.

In-Home Visits

During home visits we discuss your goals, assess the space you’d like to use, see what materials you have on hand, and I observe how you interact with your child. Travel charge may apply if you are outside of Davidson County or Williamson County, TN:

First Visit: I meet you and your children, get a feel for what your goals are, and get a sense of your parenting style.

Second Visit: I suggest activities that you can do in the home, recommend a rhythm and routine for your day, offer a few design options for an in-home learning space, and I model methods of observation.

Third Visit: We review previous suggestions and assess what is working/what is not, I help you implement your chosen design for a learning space, and I model up to three Montessori presentations.
