You can have all the Montessori knowledge. The shelf. The printables. The golden beads. But if you skip this one skill? Your homeschool won’t thrive.

In this episode, Aubrey and David reveal the most essential—and most overlooked—skill in Montessori homeschooling: observation. Not lesson planning. Not curriculum shopping. Observation.You’ll learn why focusing on how to teach matters more than what to teach. When you observe first and teach second, your homeschool shifts from chaos to clarity. You stop second-guessing. Your child feels seen. And every lesson lands exactly when they’re ready for it.

This is part 3 in our series on The Montessori Homeschool Blueprint.

Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” with Montessori - buying the materials, setting up the shelves, giving lessons - yet it still doesn’t seem to work?

In this episode of Montessori Power Hour, Aubrey and David reveal the number one reason parents get stuck when trying Montessori at home. Spoiler: It’s not about your effort. It’s about missing the method!

Plus, we celebrate Earth Day with Mr. Bunny, sharing fun, Montessori-aligned nature activities your child will love.

As Montessorians, we believe the method has value for humans at every stage of life, starting at the earliest moments and continuing on until our final days. However, there are definitely periods when we are showing signs of readiness for something new. What are those signs? How do we know when our toddlers are ready to begin their journey with the Primary materials? Join Aubrey and David on YouTube as they explore this (very frequently asked) topic!
