Supporting families from pregnancy to five, the Montessori way
Every guide, organised by stage
Fifteen stage-by-stage guides, plus eight developmental guides, each one built from thirty years spent working directly with children and twenty-two years running a Montessori nursery. Find your child's stage below, read at your own pace, and use the checklist at the end of every guide when you're too tired to remember the rest. Buy a stage bundle to save, or get the whole library in one go.
STAGE ONE
Pregnancy & Newborn
Preparing your mindset and your home before your baby arrives, through the tender, disorienting fourth trimester, and your own physical and emotional recovery afterward. This is the stage I watched catch parents most off guard — not because they weren't ready for the baby, but because no one had prepared them for what the weeks after birth actually feel like.
The First Few Weeks Together
Settling into life with a newborn without losing yourself.

Pregnancy & Newborn Bundle
All four guides above, bundled at 25% off buying separately.
STAGE TWO
Baby (0–12 Months)
Feeding, sleep, movement, and steady growth across the first year — without the pressure of milestone charts or comparison to anyone else's baby. This is where I saw parents relax the most, once they understood which struggles were genuinely normal and which were worth a second look.
Weaning & Solid Foods
Baby-led weaning, allergens, and fussy eating, covered fully.

Baby Bundle (0–12 Months)
All four guides above, bundled at 25% off buying separately.
STAGE THREE
Toddler
Independence, big feelings, potty training, and sleep through the toddler years — with calm, consistent guidance rather than pressure or bribery. Twenty-two years in a nursery full of toddlers taught me that almost every toddler battle gets easier with the same handful of tools, applied patiently and repeatedly.
Sleep, Newborn to Toddler
Also included here — toddler regressions and bed transitions.

Preschool & School Readiness
Prime toddlerhood through the transition into formal schooling, plus navigating screens along the way with intention rather than guilt. These are the years I found most rewarding to teach in — watching a child move from needing constant guidance to genuinely managing themselves.
Starting School: Ages 5–7
Emotional readiness, separation anxiety, and new routines.

Screens & Early Development
Setting boundaries that fit your family, without guilt.

ANY STAGE
Family Additions
For the moments that don't follow a fixed age — like welcoming a second child into a family that's already found its rhythm. A guide for whenever that moment arrives, whether your first child is eighteen months old or six years old.
One Heart, Two Children
Preparing an older sibling and nurturing a genuine bond.
DEVELOPMENTAL GUIDES
Developmental Guides
Not tied to a single age or stage — eight deeper dives into the cognitive science, communication, and specific challenges that come up across the early years, for parents who want to go further than the stage guides alone.
