I received an email today about a Montessori Homeschooling 2 hour course that is being offered.
If you are considering either adding Montessori to your home set up, in addition to your child's schooling here, or if you plan to do Montessori homeschooling as your child's ages out of preschool, or you just want some more information about Montessori, I am posting the information to this upcoming 2 hour course.
I have not personally taken the course, & do not know the people involved, but I like the concept of allowing parents the opportunity to decide if they want more Montessori in their child's life, & even more importantly an option for parents to understand a bit more about Montessori, & why we love it! No obligation to join or not join, just a chance to know about a workshop that you may otherwise have missed this is the total email I received:
Everything you need to know to get started Montessori homeschooling (and even if you have already started!)
* Are you curious about Montessori homeschooling, pods or co-ops? or collaborative learning groups?
* Wondering how to get started?
* Got questions like how to be the parent and teacher, how we can support socialisation while homeschooling, and juggling multiple ages/personalities/interests?
Then this is the workshop for you.
You will walk away with a clear path for your Montessori homeschooling journey be it a family setting, co-op, pod or collaborative learning group. Great for homeschooling 3-6 and 6-12 year olds.
Bonus: Maria Chavez will join us to share her experience with bilingual Montessori homeschooling

About the trainer Pilar is a former Montessori child who re-discovered Montessori at the age of 30. She did her Master's degree in Montessori Education and trained to be a Primary and Elementary AMI Montessori guide. She also became a certified Positive Discipline classroom and parent facilitator. For a long time, her happy place was in the Montessori classroom. Over the course of twelve years, she guided Primary and Elementary children at three Montessori schools. Her two children attended Montessori programs from the time they were toddlers, and they followed the Montessori principles at home. Sadly, the disturbing trend towards increased academic pressure and standardized testing eventually crept into their local Montessori community. So they made the best decision EVER - they jumped into homeschooling! Through her company Mainly Montessori she guides and empowers parents who want to homeschool with the Montessori approach. In addition to her online mentorship work, Pilar also runs a Montessori homeschool learning community in the mountains of Southern California, where she lives with her husband, two elementary-aged children, a dog and a bunny. “Pilar, you warmly embraced my worry, as a mother and a homeschooler yourself, and set me on a path to discover how my children could thrive utilizing Montessori principles in a homeschool environment.” - Erica, Homeschool mom of two “I appreciate how Pilar is always willing to make time and answer in detail, sharing personal experiences and being a sounding board.” - Junnifa Uzodike, Co-author of “The Montessori Baby”, school owner, and mom of three
