“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

What's on Offer

Private Consulting

I can offer different bespoke consulting services, depending on your personal needs, both in person (if local to West London) or remotely.

Workshops

Workshops are done in person (West London area) and are for those who want to organise a group session. These are fun, hands-on and interactive, while covering all the important areas.

Online Courses

These are in development, but will hopefully be coming soon. Essentially these will be a series of videos outlining all aspects of Montessori and child development.

Who am I?

My name is Valentine. I am a Montessori qualified educator and consultant, with over 15 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! The idea here is to show you that having a little bit more understanding about your child’s development, will make a vast difference in your home life and your overall joy of parenting. You will find playing with your child less tiring, more fun and as you become more engaged as a parent, it should only lead to life at home becoming a little easier.

I just want to offer some basic tips and advice, using Montessori ideas. The reality however is that most of Montessori is really just common sense! Something that you will discover here…

What my clients say

Valentine came over to our house as I had always been interested in Montessori but I didn’t really know where to start. Thanks to all her knowledge sharing, I’m now a much more confident mum as I understand so much more about my daughter’s development and what I can do to allow her to grow happily, independently and confidently.

I cannot recommend How2Montessori enough. I have a 1 year old and currently pregnant with my second. I was starting to feel like I couldn’t meet my toddlers needs and needed to help her focus but wasn’t sure how. An hour visit from Valentine and I feel so much more confident and can already see huge leaps and bounds in my 1 year olds focus after just a day! Her advice was invaluable and I am so excited about expanding upon what I’ve been shown and seeing the progress with my little one. I am so grateful!

I’d been trying to make sense of all the information on how to get started with Montessori methods, but there’s so much out there. Thank you so much for the private consultation. You made it so simple and easy. You are a true expert. I don’t feel as overwhelmed and love that you took the time to go through everything I already had and showing me how to use it. So excited to get started with my daughter!

I would recommend Valentine to any new parent. Her knowledge is vast and her enthusiasm and professionalism made it a joy to work with her. She is kind, compassionate and insightful. Worth every penny. Could not recommend her more highly.

We were so impressed with the consultation we had with Valentine. We were so excited to apply all her recommendations over the weeks and see our daughter thrive by her methods. She loves her new bedroom layout and loves spending time there (and so do we). What we loved about Valentine’s service is the continuous support and advice on materials and toys to help in all areas of our daughter’s development. We are so excited to have Valentine on board, she is so passionate and professional and at the same time friendly and approachable. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to be on this journey with us.

I contacted Valentine for some Montessori activity ideas specifically tailored to the age of my children (2 and 5yrs). Valentine was amazing, so lovely to talk to, I felt like I had known her for years. We communicated a lot via Whatsapp after our initial consultation and this worked super well. I would text photos and voice notes and she responded to every one of my messages. This has given me such a boost as I have felt like I had lost my drive and confidence with it all. My children have benefited massively and being introduced to a side of Montessori I wasn’t aware of means I have found they are playing a lot more harmoniously together than before. Life saver!
