  • Love love love

    As an educator (and currently a homeschooling mama of three), I cannot say enough good things about this podcast. It feels like I’m sitting down with good friends and talking about one of my favorite topics... Montessori! So informative yet approachable and fun to listen to. If you are interested in montessori or just educational (and even parenting) philosophies in general, give it a listen!
