Child of the Redwoods: Podcast

Land and water and air...it's the stuff our planet Earth is made of! This very popular lesson is simple and sometimes overlooked. Yet it is SO IMPORTANT because we are teaching a lot of concepts that build your child's core knowledge base for future connections across the curriculum. Come learn why - and how to give this awesome lesson to maximum effect.

Join Aubrey and David in a conversation about Land, Water, and Air!

Did you know -- Montessori is for REGULAR people! NOT just rich people! Oh, yes...it's true that many affluent parents have fallen in love with the Montessori method. It's so "haute" right now that sometimes it makes me want to throw up. These are strong words because my feelings are strong. Because friends--Maria did not create a fancy pants method of education. She studied CHILDREN. And her very first school, the Casa dei Bambini, was created especially for children whose parents were struggling financially. So please do us all a favor and don't believe the hype about the expensive stuff! In this episode, I share with you my thoughts on making no-cost Montessori magic at home and celebrate the Montessori public schools I've seen in action. This episode comes with a free No Cost Montessori Checklist. Love, Aubrey P.S. You can find everything related to this podcast RIGHT HERE at ChildoftheRedwoods.com

Don't feel like homeschooling is for you? Hey, you know what's right for your family...but put your skepticism aside and hang with me for a minute. Let's chat. When we clearly define what a quality education for human children encompasses, our understanding of what "school" is actually for begins to shift. Suddenly, the hours between 7am and 3pm seem like only part of the equation. In this episode, I explore the concept of school from my background as a Montessori guide, public school teacher, and parent. Love, Aubrey P.S.
