We pair Montessori education with high touch, high feel, high heart parenting principles and we also use the helpful and clear concepts of staying-listening and not impositions, but instead being real people with real feelings and needs, and that child-parent relationships are a two-way street. We encourage patience and understanding without punitive means as we know in order to help the child develop, that a natural and gradual approach of just doing stuff, all while using the child’s favorite things, real goals, and goals in life can be more realistic and attainable. We are committed to promoting the physical and mental health of each child by striving to provide safe outdoor play and peace, high-quality homemade food and learning materials which are natural and non-violent, as well as comfortable and clean environment and healthy boundaries, and by partnering with schools to build secure attachment, safety, and belonging for the family by making meaningful connections and helpful information to help the child respond to life while adjusting to life changes. Each parent is unique to us as individuals and we work with them to build secure attachments and friendship and stay connected.
