Montessori Playgroups
“The greatness of the human personality begins at the hour of birth” – Maria Montessori

The purpose at Ananda is to bring awareness of Montessori philosophy, and to find support in a community of parents and children learning together.
In each Montessori Playgroup class, I offer guidance as you learn to observe and respect the natural development of your child. You also interact and practice Montessori as a living process in an environment prepared with both you and your child in mind.
In each Playgroup class, I introduce activities to your child and others to help in developing social skills, concentration, communication, and a sense of belonging to a group, while modeling ways for you to use skills at home.
All parents gather monthly in person at Ananda (or virtually) for a discussion group, facilitated by me. These sessions feature an overview and discussion of topics pertaining to infant/child development and parenting, and serve as a time for you to share and exchange information with one another, and to form friendships and connections.
Discussion topics may include:
- Observation
- Symbiotic Period of the Infant
- Preparing the Home Environment
- Development of Language
- Development of Movement
- Development of Language
- Breastfeeding, Weaning, and Nutrition
- Diapers and Toilet Learning
- Sleep
- Positive Parenting
- Montessori Theories
