Episode 50- Learning Reality
02/08/2017 Duration: 14minIt's so easy to forget, EVERYTHING is learned. We learn from an early age that we have an impact on our environment -- the people and the things around us. Sometimes, when we say something, it's true. Sometimes, it isn't but is that the same as a lie? Or wishful thinking? Or hope? Our theme music is by Lee Rosevere

21/06/2017 Duration: 10minMath is typically one of the last areas of the Primary Classroom a child works in. There are so many things a child is working on developing, skills required for success in math. Why do we wait? Why don't we jump in on the first day? Our theme music is by Lee Rosevere

Episode 43- Freedom And Discipline
26/04/2017 Duration: 17minFreedom and Discipline are big words in Montessori. Hugely important concepts, and so clear in practice, but difficult to understand, and to support equally. This podcast goes deeper into explaining how these two sides of the same coin manifest in the classroom. Our theme music is by Lee Rosevere

Episode 42- Vocation or Job
12/04/2017 Duration: 17minThis work, the Montessori lifestyle, is all-encompassing. It isn't clock-in-clock-out, it's not even a job or a career. It's a vocation, a lifestyle, a path of self-reflection and self-improvement. In this podacast, we chat with Lara Jacobs, Montessori guide and parent, who wrote a beautiful post for the blog entitled, "Vocation of Job?" In this podcast, with the same title, we talk about how she discovered Montessori, and how it's impacted her life. Hint -- in many, myriad, daily ways.

Episode 41- The Social Side
03/04/2017 Duration: 20minIt seems natural how the classroom supports academic development. But we are social creatures, how is the interpersonal development met in the Montessori classroom? Independence is fostered, children primarily work at one-person tables, isn't this lonely? How do we help children build the strong sense of community one immediately feels upon walking into a Montessori classroom? It's just as natural, once you know what to look for.

Episode 39- Observation, Part II
02/03/2017 Duration: 07minObservation is important for adults in determining if and how to help a child, but it is absolutely critical for children in meeting their own developmental needs. It is one of the most crucial skills a child develops, and they do this even without any instruction from the very first days. Our theme music is by Lee Rosevere

Episode 38- Observation, Part I
22/02/2017 Duration: 09minObservations is Key. How do we know what children need? How do we know what children are ready for? How do we know when to stand back and let learning unfold? This muscle is necessary, flexed and grown every day. Our theme music is by Lee Rosevere

Episode 37- Activities At Home
08/02/2017 Duration: 14minWe're often asked, what can I do at home to support the work my child is doing in the classroom. The answer is surprising -- you're probably already doing it!

Arakawa and Gins with Bobby and June George
29/01/2017 Duration: 52minMaria Montessori proposes, in The Secret of Childhood, that the ‘creative urge of life’ is, essentially, love. She has a peculiar phrase for this particular articulation: she names it an “intelligence of love”. Later, in The Absorbent Mind, Montessori posits that, “The child is a well-spring of love. Whenever we touch the child, we touch love. It is a difficult love to define; we all feel it, but no one can describe its roots or evaluate the immense consequences which flow from it, or gather up its potency…” For us, it must be said, there is a logic of life that exists beyond the logic of yes and no and that is the logic of love. We see, in your work, this logic continually being put to work. For instance: your adamant love for life, at all costs. How would you make our classrooms, classrooms of love blossoming? If nothing else, this work must be precise and rigorously determined, but how do you construct a rigorous love? How intelligent, or sentient must it be? Can the architectural surround touch the love o

Episode 36- Following Through
26/01/2017 Duration: 18minFollowing Through might be a term we've borrowed from sports, but it's vital to supporting children in their development. It could be viewed as how we help children learn all the non-academics in the classroom. Young children are following their development, sometimes impulsively, and if something is important enough for me to stop that inner voice to change a behavior, help a child, enforce a routine, it's important enough for me to Follow Through.

Episode 35- Kindergarten
12/01/2017 Duration: 11minThe Primary Montessori classroom is typically a three-, sometimes four-year program. When a child is ready for Kindergarten, often the question comes up-- should we stay in Montessori, or move to a different school, be it the neighborhood public school, a private school, or homeschooling. What are some aspects of that final year in a Primary Montessori classroom? Our theme music is by Lee Rosevere

Episode 34- Sleep
22/12/2016 Duration: 11minSleep is tricky. Wouldn't it be wonderful, if every young child fell right asleep, slept through the night, didn't need multiple tucking-ins, drinks of water, one-more story/hug/look under the bed? Some families experience ease with sleep from earliest days. Some families eagerly seek help, from the internet, friends, elders, anyone with a suggestion. Sleep is something we all do, we all need, but it isn't always easy for young children. Hopefully this episode is helpful! Our theme music is by Lee Rosevere

Episode 33- Reading With Children
14/12/2016 Duration: 11minReading is more than a skill. It's an important milestone, but reading together is just as important as being able to read to yourself. Reading together can pave the way for a life of joy in reading. Our theme music is by Lee Rosevere

Episode 32- Winter Clothing
01/12/2016 Duration: 13minWinter is here! Boots and mittens and coats and hats... there's so much to put on before we can go outside. But, as the saying goes, there's no such thing as bad weather, only wrong clothing. This podcast offers a few suggestions for getting through Winter with ease. Our theme music is by Lee Rosevere
