About

We exist to aid your child's natural development from birth to maturity. The idea for The Montessori Place started when Rob and Paul were working at the Maria Montessori Institute (MMI) in London, the UK's main Montessori training centre.

Alongside their day to day work with children in their respective 'Children's Houses', they were both heavily involved in developing a vision for the MMI in 2020. They spent many months consulting parents, interviewing Montessori teachers, researching other educational approaches, and exposing themselves to the richness and diversity of the global Montessori movement.

Over this period, it became clear that the word 'Montessori' evoked in most people's minds the picture of a nursery for 3-6 year olds. Although a true image, it is not the whole truth: Montessori is in fact an approach to raising children: a natural, coherent approach stretching from conception all the way to adulthood.

Could a way forward for the Montessori movement in the UK be to share with parents 'a Montessori way' of bringing up children, especially between the ages of 0-3?
