A recent guest on the podcast was talking about how she had a picture on Instagram of her children’s books that showed a “diversity” of characters. Someone from the woke mob commented that this was not enough as the authors of the books were not “diverse”, and instead of the guest telling this...Read full review »

Fell right into the liberal politics unfortunately, they’re talking about “only giving our children two options for gender” please stop worrying so much about our children’s genders, it’s psychotic, thank you

Simone gives such practical, excellent Montessori advice, and the interviews are so in depth and I always feel like I’ve learned so much at the end of every episode

As I sat holding my baby girl who at the time was barely a month old, I thought about how I was brought up, I didn’t want to go in the same direction. I had no idea how to teach a child about the world, how to ‘discipline’ without shame or smacking, how to just be with a baby. I was in childcare...Read full review »

I feel Montessori is essential method for children. A Podcast about this could be supremely helpful.

Very tailored approaches to white middle class parents with time and money in their hands.

Wow, I’m only 1 episode in but already hooked! I discovered Simone’s work and book through another podcast and I was so pleased to find that she has a podcast series of her own!

Thank you, Simone, for interviewing very interesting people and for sharing your wisdom! This is one of my favorite podcasts and I look forward to tuning in every week. Each episode includes so many concrete examples that I can apply to my toddler and to our at-home Montessori environment.

I find this podcast (as well as Simone’s book) very easygoing and down to earth. You learn so much but it doesn’t feel like learning, more like you’re meeting a friend and chatting about things that matter most: our families, our children. Sometimes it’s about challenges and how to overcome them...Read full review »

I originally posted a negative view of this podcast, not understanding why Simone delved into her personal family life on the first episode. But I’ve come to appreciate the context she provided for the work she does and have been impressed and totally inspired by her guests in following episodes...Read full review »

I loved reading Simone’s book and like to use it as a reference guide, however I found myself forgetting the philosophy or advice. The podcast has proven to be a great way to keep all the wisdom of the book fresh in my mind, while adding to the ways we can incorporate Montessori into all types of...Read full review »

Third time mom, first time Montessori follower. I’m still very much a beginner in this world of respectful parenting, but already I see such a difference between my two older(“traditionally” raised) children and my third child. I’m reading and learning what I can and I’m so happy I found this...Read full review »

I love this podcast - I look forward to the new episodes each week and I feel like I’m learning a lot each time (probably need to listen to the episodes more than once!). Simone packs in so much good information to each episode and her feedback on listener questions is so thoughtful!

Simone is authentic and relatable. The podcast talks to a wide variety of people about Montessori parenting, including her own children. Through it all, Simon asks relevant questions, encourages her guests, and is respectful. My favorite bits are the intro where she gives a few tips for...Read full review »

Before I read, “the Montessori toddler”, I always thought that Montessori and Montessori schools were for the elite. I thought that Montessori was out of reach for a middle class family like ours. I can say that Simone has changed our lives. This podcast is an excellent extension of what it means...Read full review »

Simone is a total goddess of Montessori learning, and this podcast is a fantastic extension of her book the Montessori Toddler which I use as a practical guide to organising my life with my toddler. What I love about this podcast is that is doesn’t always come across as “pure perfect...Read full review »

I’ve listened to all of Simone’s podcasts and loved them all. I read her blog (the Montessori notebook.com) regularly and it’s been a source of inspiration, insight and comfort. These podcasts do the same for me, if not more! I love the interviews with various Montessori and parents and...Read full review »

I’m interested in Montessori for my kiddo and have dabbled in listening to a few, but THIS one is it! Lovely mix of expertise, tailoring content for your situation (ie working parent), and non judgmental tone.

I love Simone’s work and when I found out she was launching a podcast, I was overjoyed. She has such a beautiful approach to both parents and children and her voice is dreamy. Passing it along to all of my friends!

I recently stumbled upon The Montessori Toddler book, started reading it, and through the book, found the website. My kids do not go to a Montessori daycare but I always love learning about new parenting methods so I can better my approach and thinking. Since starting the book, I have already...Read full review »

This first episode was a great insight into Simone and her family. Love listening and really looking forward to hearing more on approaching discipline and addressing toddlers who may or may not have kicked their little brother in the face 🙈
