Being a Montessori parent is amazing. But, that doesn't mean it isn't hard. We're here to help, because we can all use a little Shelf Help - Our Montessori parenting podcast.
Let's Be Montessori Parents Together
There are so many different parenting approaches available today that it can be hard to recognize your own voice and style among the options. If you're parenting with Montessori, you aren't alone. We're here to chat about all the everyday realities of Montessori parenting. Join Nicole and co-host Amy for real life conversations about using Montessori at home.
"Nicole and Amy make you feel like you are talking with long time friends. The subjects that they discus are very interesting and relatable. One of the best podcasts out there." - Shelf Help Listener

Nicole
Hi! I'm Nicole Kavanaugh, Montessori mom to 5. You can find me on The Kavanaugh Report, on Instagram, and on Shelf Help.
Over the last 10 years, Montessori has been the backbone of my family life. We have used Montessori principles to guide our home and our parenting. I love talking with and helping parents use Montessori in practical ways to bring joy into their lives. I offer a variety of resources on this site and through Montessori courses.
Amy
Hello! I’m Amy Dorsch, Montessori guide and mom of 3. You can find me on Instagram, and on Shelf Help.
Becoming a parent transformed my life, in large part by leading me to Montessori. As my children have grown, I’ve only gone deeper into the philosophy, with its principles guiding my everyday parenting, working with children in Montessori classrooms, and working with parents to bring these same principles into their homes.
