The flagship course
Everything you believe about your child, turned into a plan.
Forty-eight lessons across every age, from birth through high school, built from the same curriculum Montessori Makers uses inside real schools. So you stop piecing it together from blog posts and guesswork.
What is inside
One curriculum, every age.
Every age, birth to eighteen
Forty-eight full lessons across eight developmental levels, from your newborn through the last years of high school.
Not theory. A plan.
Each lesson gives you the developmental context, what to watch for, real strategies, and something to try this week.
Real activities, not filler
A library of concrete home activities tied to the same curriculum, tagged by age so you always know what fits right now.
Self-paced, yours to keep
No cohort, no deadline. Buy a tier once and come back to it for as long as your child is at that age, and beyond.

The complete course
All 48 lessons, every tier, birth through high school. One purchase, access for as long as you have a child in the house.
For nannies & professional caregivers
Every tier includes a certificate of completion you can show the families you work for. It is a record that you completed this self-paced course, not an AMI or AMS credential, and we say that plainly so it means exactly what it says.
Questions
Before you enroll
What format is the course in?
Written lessons you read on this site, on any device. No videos to sit through and no live calls to attend. Each lesson gives you the developmental context, what to watch for, concrete strategies, and one thing to try this week.
How long do I have access?
There is no expiry date. Buy a tier once and it stays available to you, so you can return to it as your child grows into and out of that stage.
Do I need an account or password?
No password. When you buy, we email you a private link that opens your lessons. If you ever lose it, request a new one and it arrives in your inbox in seconds.
Can I start with one tier and add more later?
Yes. Each tier you buy is added to the same access, so you can start where your child is now and add the next stage when you get there.
What if it is not right for us? Can I get a refund?
Yes. Email info@montessorimakers.org, tell us what happened, and we will refund you. There is no form and no hoop to jump through. We do not run a fixed refund window, because a family who reads three lessons in month one and realizes it is wrong for them deserves the same answer as one who emails on day two. If a tier was billed twice, or you bought the wrong ages, that is always refunded or swapped, no questions. We reply to every email within two business days.
Can I read a lesson before I decide?
Yes, and you should. The introduction lesson is the complete thing, not an excerpt, and it needs no email address. If that lesson is not useful to you, the rest will not be either.
Is this a teaching credential?
No. Professional caregivers get a certificate of completion recording that they finished this self-paced course, which is genuinely useful to show families. It is not an AMI, AMS, or MACTE teaching credential, and we say so plainly.
