How2Montessori offers 3 key services. Access to the online How2Montessori Members space, private consultations and workshops. All these are designed to help improve your understanding of early years development, in the most approachable, user-friendly way possible.
Both the members platform and 1:1 consultations work with any kind of environment you may have at home. Whether it’s a small cosy bedroom, a large separate playroom, a child care, nursery or child minder setting, How2Montessori can help guide you in any of these environments, from helping you set up entirely, to simply making a few changes. All in order to best support your child’s developmental needs.
As well as multiple activities and themes to try out, you will discover tips, ideas, ways to use your resources, as well as answers to frequently asked questions, sent by the How2Montessori community.​

Workshops
I have been carrying out workshops every month at my home, for the last 2 years. At the moment, these are only accessible to those living near West London. Small groups of 8-10 families (parent & child.) These are interactive and insightful sessions for both child and parent to enjoy. Click on the Workshops link to find out more...​​
“I have not invented what is called the Montessori Method. I have simply observed the child, taken what the child has given me and expressed it. That is what is called the Montessori Method”

Dr Maria Montessori
Who am I?
My name is Valentine. I am a certified Montessori educator and consultant, with over 20 years experience working with early years and parents. I am also a mum.
​
Let’s be honest, being a parent is not always easy. We all have the good days, bad days and the ‘what on earth do I do with them’ days! Things don’t work out every day!
Every family and situation is different and no two days are the same.
There is no perfect method, solution or parent, but the idea here is to show you that having a little bit more understanding about your child’s development, will help make life at home a little easier and in turn make a difference to your overall joy of parenting.
​
My hope is that even by adopting 1, 2 or many of the ideas, it should all have a positive impact.
I have used my experience with the Montessori methodology to help create ideas and advice, but you'll quickly realise that so much of this is actually just common sense! Something that you will discover
