Hello, my name is Wachira and I am from Thailand. I am a single mother to my single son, who indirectly introduced me to Montessori education. I did the AMI training for children from 2.5 - 6 years old and had one year experience in the classroom.

While teaching, I wondered what happened to children before this age group so I did the AMI training for children from birth to 3 years. For the past 5 years of training and learning from children including my own son, I realise that Montessori is not just about teaching or working with children how to use the materials. The art and key of Montessori education is really Observation, the observation of who we are as adults before we actually observe children, to try to understand who they are and how we can support them.

I would be delighted to hear from you and share with you how Montessori could accommodate your parenting journey.
