I listened to a few of the podcast episodes and both hosts come off very “holier than thou” and snobby about their viewpoints. In one episode one of the hosts spent five minutes talking about how much better she talks to her child to guide them while climbing a slide than another parent at the...Read full review »

While some of the info is useful there is a lot of fluff. If often takes 10 mins of chit chat before they get started on point. 1 hour episodes can easily be condensed. I recently listened to the Montessori Bedrooms Episode and all they did was talk about how their children sleep for the first...Read full review »

This is my favorite Montessori podcast! I love how they talk like we are on a phone call, tell us about what is going on in there lives the first 5-10 minutes and then talk about Montessori topics. It does not feel like a college lecture like some of the other podcasts… which make you want to...Read full review »

Dear ladies, thank you for your work and all your tips, I will keep following you on Instagram. Unfortunately, I cannot listen to the podcast anymore. When I listen to your conversation, inside my head I scream: how many more “like” words can be fitted in one sentence? I am sorry, I can’t take it...Read full review »

Montessori resources often seem blind to families with both parents working full time outside of the home. While my home and routines surely don’t measure up to Amy and Nicole’s 😋 I certainly do not feel ostracized or guilted by their messaging. Thank you for providing insights and tips that are...Read full review »

I am actually pre-kid here but have a huge love for development. This podcast covers so many amazing topics and hearing the development and parenting side through the Montessori lens warms my heart. They do a fantastic job speaking practically and showing you the real life side of it! Great jobs...Read full review »

This is one of the best podcasts I’ve listened to. Great ideas for everyone! I have implemented so many things from this podcast!
LauraLHG via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/09/21
One of my top five favorite podcasts! I enjoy the chatty, conversational style. I love sitting at the feet of more experienced Montessori moms. I eat up this podcast.

These gals are real, really helpful, and I have learned SO MUCH! I have just really begun to dive deep into Montessori and I am OBSESSED thanks to these ladies’ clear, knowledgeable conversations about their Montessori environments.

The podcast is useful, however they talk too much trivial stuff that we don’t need to listen. A lot of times, 1 hour conversation could have been said in 20 minutes, the rest is just personal conversation that we don’t really need to learn.
Josy Culpepper via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/31/21
Great information but I typically skip the first 15 minutes because they catch up on their lives and I just don’t find that helpful or interesting. I wish they would keep that to a minimum.
dair9390 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/09/21
Nicole and Amy make you feel like you talking with long time friends. The subject that the discus are very interesting and relatable. One of the best podcast out there.
Fabibarato via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/09/21
Really enjoying this podcast and very glad I’ve found it. I’m learning something new every episode. It’s great that you have a wide range of children’s ages to talk about and so much experience between you.
ekjul via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/05/21
I love Nicole and Amy. They are generally good at explaining what the Montessori ideology is and how they understand it verses when they make choices that aren’t necessarily strictly Montessori but it works for their family. They are also very understanding and supportive of different parenting...Read full review »

Nicole and Amy are helping me survive the isolation of modern parenting in a pandemic and the marginalization of choosing non traditional parenting. I feel connected, validated, inspired, informed, and confident listening to Nicole and Amy. They are the closest thing to likeminded friends I have...Read full review »

Fantastic podcast! We don’t follow a Montessori lifestyle, but I love listening to hear different perspectives, thoughts and ideas. They are presented in such an open and inclusive way. I also love hearing about the lives and challenges faced by these women. Thank you for sharing with us! With...Read full review »
NJury via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/22/21
I love a lot of parts about the podcast but have noticed a lot of inconsistencies while listening the past few months. There seems to be a lot of family practices that they just dub as Montessori because they decided them to be i.e. respectful parenting, on demand breastfeeding, no sleep...Read full review »
AllieLilly via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/16/21
I love this podcast, full of amazing information BUT it’s really difficult to listen to at times because Nicole has a tendency to interrupt and talk over Amy. It’s so cringe worthy that I often stop listening about halfway through. Wish Nicole would share the mic a bit more.
#IsThataBoatinYourPants via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/14/21
I look forward to Mondays to listen to this podcast! As a new mom of a 9 month old who is still learning about being a Montessori parent this podcast is sooo helpful. Amy and Nicole give their honest opinions on a variety of topics. One of my favourite podcasts for sure!
Sarah Leahy via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/09/21
I absolutely love listening to Amy and Nicole on their podcasts. Having a 4-month-old infant at home right now this one really hit home for me with the breastfeeding topic. I love that they’re so honest about their feelings and experiences. Having a Montessori-based perspective on this and every...Read full review »

I have only listened to episode number 33 and I can’t wait to dive in into all the other episodes! The conversation was very practical and applicable. Thank you
lena-chichka via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/12/21
I’ve long admired the content that both of the hosts publish, so I was thrilled to learn they started a podcast. Amy is a trained guide and Nicole is an expert on all things Montessori in the home, so they make a fabulous pair. They bring the sometimes esoteric ideals of Dr. Montessori down to...Read full review »

I have been following both Nicole and Amy for all things Montessori. So stoked they made a podcast. Love all the topics and episodes and I love the approach. Feels like just sitting with friends having great discussions.
Nate OnEarth via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/01/21
This is hands down the best podcast! So interesting, friendly, and casual. -I just wish the fade out music wasn’t so loud.
Mdmlu21 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/22/20
I have really enjoyed your podcasts so far, they’ve been very helpful and encouraging to parents interested in parenting with a Montessori view. However I was deeply disappointed with your episode regarding Father Christmas. You speak of not being judgemental but on numerous occasions state...Read full review »

I love this podcast! I feel like Amy and Nicole are two close friends of mine and I love hearing about their Montessori families. They discuss Montessori parenting in such an accessible way and give real, practical suggestions for applying Montessori principles at home in 2020. Thank you for...Read full review »

This is absolutely my favorite parenting podcast! I love listening to Nicole and Amy’s relaxed conversation. It’s so enjoyable, but it also contains so much valuable information that I can implement with my toddler. I highly recommend giving all of their episodes a listen!
BreezyHerklotz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/27/20
I enjoy the podcast and I appreciate the parenting advice the hosts offer. But every episode I find myself stopping early when the hosts start going in circles. I also started skipping the first 10 minutes where the hosts were catching up about their lives. I don’t feel personally connected to...Read full review »

I love Nicole and Amy! This is two friends talking about what they are passionate about and having conversation! I love listening their ‘chit chat’ as people have called it as well as the meat of the podcast! They are so informative and bring up so many good points!! So much Montessori knowledge...Read full review »

I love listening to Nicole and Amy talk about how Montessori fits into their parenting and day to day life! I get new ideas to use with my Nanny kids with the bonus of feeling like I am just sitting with friends chatting over coffee (remember when that was a thing 😂?).
aehealy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/17/20
It is very easy to become interested in Montessori and almost immediately feel overwhelmed by all of the information out there. Amy and Nicole talk about their Montessori philosophies (and their lives in general) in an informal, fun, and real way that humanizes them and makes learning about...Read full review »

I am not a parent, but I am a full time nanny and passionate about improving my childcare strategies and capabilities. I love this podcast, and I love the topics they choose to talk about!

As an aspiring Montessori parent, I’m so glad I found this podcast!

I love the topics, the flow, and the insight on parenting Montessori-style! I truly enjoy listening to their take and sharing their personal lives! I do think that they interrupt each other a lot which can be a bit frustrating, but other than that— definitely worth a listen!
Webstergirlxxoo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/29/20
I was excited to check out this podcast. But couldn’t get through the episode. it is a chatty “this is what I’ve been up to” format which I can see why some people might enjoy in the age of reality TV but I did not find these two womens lives interesting or engaging and was tuning in for...Read full review »

I listened to this episode about 1 year olds and it took so much pressure off my shoulders. I love how realistic and doable their recommendations are.
Baharal via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/21/20
Such a great episode. I have so many ideas now for my 14 month old who just started walking! I love the practical advice and knowledge shared. Also, I think the Little Tikes updated the model. I found a very similar, if not the same, small cube/slide called a Junior Activity Gym!
ShandiSkiff via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/16/20
This is the most helpful parenting podcast I know for parents of little kids. I adore the hosts and am excited for every new release.

Nicole runs my favorite blog ever! I’ve learned SO much from her posts and pictures and now from her podcast. I was so happy when she started the podcast. Every week I look forward to hearing new insights from her and Amy. One of my favorite podcasts out there. Thank you for what you do ladies,...Read full review »
Britt Paige Hen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/18/20
Love everything about Nicole’s approach to parenting and Montessori. I could listen to her all day! Highly recommend her courses and blog. An in invaluable resource for parents looking to implement Montessori and gentle parenting.
Ally P M via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/30/20
This more like eavesdropping on a phone conversation between these two women rather than any sort of instructional, educational or helpful podcast. There was no structure or even real topics talked about. It was more stream of consciousness. The show notes were always lacking too. I even reached...Read full review »
sjayne13 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/19/20
I expected more from this podcast... There is a lot of non-informative talk between the hosts, a lot of self praise and a strong division to “montessori kids/families” and the others... Often times it left me feeling not good enough... There are much better podcasts out there than this one!
Filipov via Apple Podcasts · Switzerland · 05/26/20
I look forward to this podcast every week! I’m new to this whole Montessori thing and am getting so much joy from learning about it from the perspectives of two different women. So much knowledge here. Thank you!

I am loving this podcast! Thanks for chatting, leaning in, and being real about Montessori parenting :)
