In-Home Montessori Sessions New
Personalized Montessori support brought directly into your child’s home environment — where learning happens most naturally. Sessions are tailored to your child’s developmental stage, nurturing concentration, independence, language development, and emotional regulation. French language immersion available upon request.
Montessori Home Design
Create calmer, more functional spaces that support your child’s independence, concentration, and confidence. Whether you’re navigating toy overwhelm, a new developmental stage, or a move, we help transform your home into an environment where both children and adults can thrive.
Parent Coaching
Thoughtful one-on-one guidance for navigating the joys and challenges of the early years. Together we explore behavior, routines, emotional regulation, toilet learning, picky eating, independence, and everyday parenting questions through a Montessori-informed lens.
Oui Montessori Parent Coaching Circle
A small-group coaching experience offering ongoing Montessori-informed support for parents of young children. Each live session includes coaching, guidance, and the opportunity to bring your own questions while learning from the experiences of other families.
Whether you are navigating sleep challenges, toilet learning, emotional regulation, independence, mealtimes, or the everyday questions that arise in family life, our goal is to help you better understand your child and create an environment where both children and parents can thrive.
Rooted in Dr. Maria Montessori’s vision of education as an aid to life, we believe that small changes in the adult, the environment, and daily routines can have a lasting impact on a child’s development.
What Families Say
“The capabilities that Ariane brought out in our daughter using Montessori methods were almost beyond our belief. By her second day she was not only swallowing baby food, but learned to do it by spooning it into her mouth by herself. She very soon moved from the bottle to drinking from a cup by herself, cleaning her table and putting her dishes in the sink, and was largely toilet trained by 19 months. Our daughter is so happy, independent, and confident, and we feel we owe much of it to the loving Montessori education she received from Ariane.”
— Amy B.“When I first came to the Montessori Parent Child Center I was feeling frustrated as a parent. I didn’t like being that mom who was constantly nagging. I knew I needed guidance and I found that and much more at MPCC. Our family will be forever grateful. We have adopted the Montessori philosophy into our parenting choices and it has been an enormous benefit to our family well-being.”
— Juliana K.“In a short period of time I’ve already seen some very positive changes. My son is learning how to focus on one activity at a time, put his activities away after using them, and is even starting to understand the concept of waiting for his turn. Working with Ariane has also helped my husband and I re-think our style as parents and how to respond to the various new situations our son presents to us each day.”
