The app
A Montessori expert in your pocket.
The Family Companion gives you age-calibrated guidance, honest answers, and home practice for the moments that actually happen: the meltdown at bedtime, the question you cannot Google, the week that fell apart.
What a family gets
Everything, for one price.
A weekly digest, in plain language
Classroom life translated into what it actually means for your family, so you always know what your child is moving through this week.
Guidance that fits your child, Nido through high school
Answers tuned to exactly where your child is, from the very first years all the way through adolescence. Never generic advice that fits no one.
Home practice guides for the hard moments
Real support for big transitions and big feelings, written for the messy moments that happen at home, not the tidy ones.
An observation journal that finds the patterns
Jot down what you notice and let the app surface the threads over time, the way a trained Montessori observer would.
Questions
Before you subscribe.
What does it cost?
$12 a month, or $99 a year if you pay annually. No tiers and no locked content: every subscriber gets everything.
Do I need a Montessori school to use it?
No. The app works whether your child is enrolled in a Montessori school, homeschooled, or somewhere in between. You pick your child’s age and it calibrates from there.
Is there an iPhone app?
The App Store version is on its way. Today it runs in your browser on any phone, tablet, or computer, and you can add it to your home screen so it behaves like an app.
How is this different from the course?
The course is a structured curriculum you work through. The app is for the moment you are actually in, at 10pm, when you need an answer about tonight.
Can I cancel?
Any time, from inside the app, and you keep access through the end of the period you already paid for. If a renewal caught you off guard, email us and we will refund it.
