Dear Friend,
Remember when childhood didn't require wi-fi?
Today's children are the first generation navigating a childhood where the influence of the digital world is unprecedented - leaving parents and educators feeling anxious and overwhelmed without a map. I see you. I understand the challenges this creates for your vibrant Montessori community.
As a provider of Montessori-aligned parent education and professional development, I specialize in creating inspiring spaces for exploring the crucial questions of childhood in today’s digital landscape. I help families and schools discover their own confident, intentional path forward to approach the relationship between screens and childhood.
I don't come with rulebooks or tech-shaming solutions. Instead, I honor - honoring both cutting-edge research and the wisdom and hopes that already lives within your parents.
Through innovative workshops that spark the most meaningful new thinking, vibrant community experiences, and practical resources, we’ll move from anxiety to confidence as we shape this generation's digital destiny and ensure a childhood well spent.
When you invite these experiences into your community, you're declaring: "We’re in this together. We believe in childhood."
your school becomes a guiding light in uncertain times
your classrooms fill with more self-regulated children- calm, focused, and joyfully engaged
your community connects & co-creates together, strengthening bonds
Your enrollment story shifts to becoming the school families are actively seeking and recommending
This isn't just another program. It's the beginning of your community's hero's journey.
With possibility,
Toni
