Simone Davies, Montessori teacher and parent
About this episode

Perhaps you don’t know yet what Montessori is. Or you may have been on a Montessori journey for a long time. Your children may or may not be at Montessori school. Or still a baby, already a teenager, or having families of their own. There will be something for everyone, Montessori parents, teachers, or just if you have a curious mind.

Your host, Simone Davies, is a Montessori teacher and parent and aims to make Montessori accessible to anyone, help you be more calm, understanding and supportive, and give you the tools to help you at home (or in the classroom), while preserving the heart behind the Montessori approach

In each episode, join Simone having relaxed conversations with Montessori friends, families and other Montessori teachers. She’ll also be sharing what she’s learning along the way - even after years as a Montessori educator, parent and author, there is so much more to learn. And at the end of each episode, Simone will answer a listener question.

Over the course of the season, you can look forward to hearing about
Montessori activities
ideas for Montessori at home
Montessori at different ages
using Montessori principles in our daily lives
and there will also be for sure positive discipline, gentle parenting and the - oh so commonly asked - “how do I get my child to listen” sprinkled through these conversations

Yes, how to raise children in a respectful way, help you better understand them, and raise curious - and yet - responsible human beings.

With the aim of spreading more peace and positivity around the world.
