Resources

One thing is clear: none of us know everything. I have made wonderful connections with fellow humans on this planet who know far more than I do about a variety of different topics. I highly recommend you check them out if you are searching for information.


General Resources

Gentle Start Studio – Marly Stasi is not only a trained sleep expert, but one of my favorite humans.  If you are struggling with your child’s sleep and need support, Marly is my go-to person.


Schools

Downstream Partners – GG Johnston is a master of bringing school leaders and school communities together to build alignment, communication, and connection. She and her team offer a way for school leaders to guide their teams with humility and effectiveness, helping to eliminate the drama and replace it with vulnerability, grace, and honesty.  She uses a variety of tools to help teams understand one another and themselves.

In 2015, as I was setting up my toddler classroom, one of my Montessori “sisters” recommended MVita.net. Although I am no longer in that classroom, I still see many of those materials in use today by the current teaching team. Xia Li, the founder of MVita has Montessori certifications in 0-6 years and has thoughtfully designed her materials to adhere to the curriculum and the beauty of a Montessori classroom. I have had the great pleasure of connecting with her and guiding the creation of beautiful classrooms with teaching teams using her materials.


For Locals
