Welcome to this unique podcast series, ‘The Montessori Mission’.

During this series, I ask 10 Montessorians from around the world the same 10 questions to invite discussion and introspection in all of us.

Is this Montessori podcast for you?
If you are interested in Montessori but feel that it’s not for you as you do not fit the ‘stereotype’ of a Montessori family, then this series is definitely for you. The intention I hold for us all is to be able to provide our audience with a diverse range of Montessori experiences, across the different age groups, cultures, neuro-diverse and neuro-typical children. We are all here to invite to Montessori as a way of life to create a more peaceful and harmonious world.
The 10 Questions we explore are:
- What does Montessori mean to you?
- What was your first lightbulb moment on your Montessori path?
- In what ways does Montessori enrich the work that you do?
- When was the first time a child taught you something about yourself that you weren’t aware of?
- When was the last time a child taught you something about yourself that you weren’t aware of?
- When was the last time a child caught you out of integrity and questioned you on it?
- How did you explain yourself?
- What is your favourite Dr Montessori quote?
- What is your deepest desire for Montessori in the future?
- What do you see your role is, in achieving this?
