What is Montessori Parents?
Montessori Parents is an online school where students can acquire parenting skills by systematically learning the mindset, knowledge, and how to relate to children in Montessori education, with a special focus on parenting.
The Montessori method of education has a history of more than 100 years and continues to spread throughout the world due to the reliability of its teaching methods. The school offers a unique curriculum that allows students to immediately apply the Montessori method in their daily child-rearing, and a system that enables students to deepen their learning and steadily acquire practical skills. With the three pillars of "deepen," "think," and "connect," we aim to nurture the axis of child-rearing while helping children become independent and creating a foundation for true happiness in their entire lives, both now and in the future.

Testimonials and changes from students studying at Montessori Parents
Ms. Misuke Imai (part-time job / child 2 years old)
I started attending Montessori Parents, and the major change after attending the program was that I was able to keep my mindset and self-esteem high by gaining knowledge and being exposed to the thoughts and feelings of other participants in the workshops.
Kenichi Sakamoto (Company employee / children: 4 years old boy and 2 years old boy)
Before taking the course, I was sometimes frustrated with my children because I was caught up in the life in front of me, but after systematically learning about Montessori education from mindset to skills, I am now able to take a long-term view of child-rearing and look at myself from a bird's eye view.
Miho Kondo (housewife / child 3 years old)
Now that I have learned about parenting at Montessori Parents, I have developed the habit of observing my son first and asking "why?" when I feel frustrated within myself, and I am less emotionally attached to him.
Montessori Parents has become a "place I can go back to" when something goes wrong with my child.
Miyuki Naito (elementary school teacher / child 2 years and 3 months old)
Through my studies at Montessori Parents, I received a lot of awareness that I needed, and I began to think, "If I want my children to be happy, I must first make myself happy.
Instructor and Founder's Comments (from Akie, Montessori Teacher)
Since we began to disseminate and publish information about Montessori education, we have received many inquiries about child-rearing from many people.
In such a situation, I felt "the need to know about children. So, a year ago, I launched Montessori Parents with the idea of "not just learning to be a teacher, but to provide the learning necessary for parenting as a parent. We want to help people to develop their own unique parenting style through this learning.
We are very grateful to the many people who have learned from us in the year since our launch.
However, I believe we are just at the starting line.
We do not stop at the end of learning, but rather, through learning, students face themselves and adults grow together with their children.
Each will enjoy raising children with their own unique "axis of child-rearing.
We also aim to increase the number of adults who respect children, which will lead to a peaceful society. We will continue to devote ourselves to achieving this vision.
Thank you for your interest in Montessori Parents.
