Carrig Montessori's Mindful Parenting program offers a six-session course for parents and their babies or toddlers (ages 6 months to 2 years).
The program features hands-on experiences for the little ones in a Montessori environment, alongside discussions for parents on child and parental development through a Montessori perspective.
Registration includes three Saturday sessions of Mindful Parenting Class and three Tuesday evening sessions of Parent Support and Discussion.
Our Montessori classroom offers your child the chance to explore independently and purposefully as they interact with carefully selected materials. Parents are supported in stepping back from their child so that they can observe their abilities, interests, and approach to the classroom. Each parent is provided a journal in which they are encouraged to take notes on a specific focus each week.
Trained Montessori guides set the tone in this 90 minute class, as we move through a work cycle, group snack and end with stories and songs.
During Parent Support and Discussion, Montessori guides combine their knowledge of child development and the Montessori Method with parents' observations and questions to lead beneficial discussions. Specific topics may include:
Babies and toddlers are growing and changing at a pace that can feel exhilarating, but also overwhelming for both them and us! Keeping up with your child's rapidly changing development is not only vital to supporting their growth, but informs your ever-changing job description as a parent. Mindful Parenting gives you the tools to observe where your child is today so that you can support the child they are becoming tomorrow.
