How Montessori Homeschooling Works

A calm, step-by-step path you can actually follow.

Child of the Redwoods brings your curriculum, planning, parent education, and support into one complete system so you always know what comes next.

Dream with me.

The house is finally quiet. It’s been a long day. There’s a half-finished cup of coffee sitting on the counter, and you’re scrolling, trying to figure out what you’re supposed to teach your child tomorrow.

Math? Reading? Something hands-on?

I remember that feeling so clearly. That ever-present whisper that says, “Am I doing this right? Where do I even start? What if I mess this up?”

If you’ve felt that too, you are so not alone.

Most parents come to Montessori homeschooling with a deep desire to do something beautiful for their child…and absolutely no clear roadmap for how to make it all come together.

There are so many pretty shelves. Trays of activities. Materials! And just as many strong opinions out there on the “right” way to do Montessori.

It’s a lot to wade through, and honestly…what you really want isn’t more ideas.

You want someone to gently show you what to teach, when to teach it, and how to move through your days without constantly second-guessing yourself.

That’s exactly what this program is designed to do.

Child of the Redwoods is a complete Montessori homeschool curriculum for ages 2 to 9, with fully scripted lessons, Montessori Teaching Guides, monthly Theme Packs, Planning Cards, parent courses, and support every step of the way.

So instead of wondering what comes next, you can wake up, open your lesson, and feel a sense of relief.

You know what to do, and you’re ready to have a great day with your child.

Read on to learn exactly how the Child of the Redwoods program works, step by step.

Here’s how the program works in real life.

Start with Your First Theme

You wake up, get ready for the day, and know exactly what to teach.

Inside Child of the Redwoods, you’ll begin with a complete set of engaging, hands-on lessons already laid out for you.

Your lessons are easy to access.

Open your monthly Theme Pack, watch the Welcome Video, print what you need, and begin.

Everything is fully prepared and planned for you.

Every Theme Pack includes weekly Planning Cards, printable materials, a curated book list, family activities, and a Welcome Video where Aubrey walks you through the entire month before you begin.

Your lessons are fully scripted, so you always know what to say and do.

Your materials are printable and included, so you’re not searching or piecing things together.

You simply You simply watch the Welcome Video, print your materials, grab this week's Planning Cards, and begin..

Just Print, Cut, and Start Teaching… Easy as 1-2-3.

The themes give your days a natural rhythm and a shared focus, while weaving together reading, writing, math, science, and more in a way that feels connected and beautiful.

And because every lesson is designed for a wide age range, you can easily adapt them for your child or teach multiple children at the same time.

If your child suddenly becomes interested in whales, magnets, or construction vehicles, the Lesson Explorer makes it easy to search thousands of lessons and follow that curiosity without losing your overall plan.

A lot of parents feel the pressure to do everything perfectly, but you don’t have to worry about this. The lessons will feel like playful, fun games that you can enjoy as a family.

You’ll love the hands-on activities. ❤️

And truthfully…you might have a little too much fun with the science experiments! 🤓

Learn Montessori as You Go

You don’t have to know Montessori already or have a teaching background before you begin.

Inside your membership, you’ll find simple, self-paced courses that walk you through the Montessori method step by step, right alongside your child’s learning.

You’ll see real lesson demonstrations, understand why each activity matters, and begin to feel more confident with every step.

Every course includes reflection prompts and short check in quizzes so you can build confidence one concept at a time instead of trying to memorize everything at once.

Have a 2 to 5 year old? Start with Primary.

Have a 6 to 9 year old? Choose Lower Elementary.

Have more than one child? You can do both.

And…it’s personal. 🩷✨

You’ll be learning from Aubrey, a lifelong Montessorian and homeschool mom, who shows you exactly how this works in a real home, not just in theory.

You can move through the courses at your own pace, or join live coaching for extra support and connection.

Either way, you’ll have all the information you need to teach your child.

You’re learning as you go, with guidance every step of the way.

You’ll be walked through exactly how to teach your child.

Get Support When You Need It

You don’t have to do this alone.

When questions come up or something doesn’t go as planned, you’ll have a place to turn.

Join us for Monthly Office Hours, Quarterly Planning Parties, and live coaching sessions where you can ask questions, reflect on what's working, and plan ahead alongside other Montessori families.

Inside our private community, you’ll connect with real Montessori homeschoolers who are learning, teaching, and figuring this out right alongside you.

It’s not on social media. It’s a calm, supportive space where you can ask questions, share wins, and get thoughtful feedback without the noise.

It feels a little like a 24/7 homeschool park day…just online!

There’s always someone there who understands what you’re experiencing, who can offer encouragement, and who reminds you that you’re on the right track.

Because sometimes all you need is someone to say,

“You’re doing better than you think. Just keep going.”

Build Your Child’s Foundation

Your child learns through a complete, connected curriculum.

As you get comfortable, you’ll begin building your child’s foundation over time, subject by subject.

Your themed lessons give you a consistent monthly rhythm and a clear focus for what you’re exploring together.

And alongside that, your foundational lessons ensure your child is building skills in reading, writing, math, science, and more, without skipping over anything important.

You don’t have to figure out what to teach next or worry about gaps.

It’s already mapped out for you.

Inside Child of the Redwoods, your child’s learning is organized into six developmental levels that follow readiness rather than age.

Each Teaching Guide shows the complete progression across all ten Montessori subject areas while helping you identify which materials are essential, optional, DIY friendly, or unnecessary.

Using the Lesson Explorer, Lesson Explorer, our searchable library of more than 3,000 lessons, you can search by topic, subject, skill, or Montessori material. If your child suddenly becomes fascinated by butterflies or volcanoes, you can quickly find connected lessons while staying on track with your Teaching Guides.

There’s no need to rush ahead or try to do everything at once.

The curriculum leveled lessons and your themes work together to support steady, meaningful progress.

Three educational booklets titled 'Building Foundations,' 'Exploring Relationships,' and 'Strengthening Connections,' with illustrations of hands interacting with blocks, paper, and charts.
Set of four educational books for Montessori Level Four, focusing on thinking, problem-solving, and understanding charts, with covers featuring illustrations of hands drawing and using charts.

Track Progress and Keep Going

You’ll follow your child and check off the lessons one by one.

As you move forward through the curriculum, you’ll begin to see just how much your child is learning.

You won’t have to keep everything in your head or wonder if you’re doing enough.

Whether you prefer checking off Planning Cards on paper or tracking lessons in the app, you'll always know what you've presented, what comes next, and how your child is progressing.

Your Planning Cards, documentation pages, and scope and sequence work together so you always know what you've presented, what your child has mastered, and what comes next.

So when you’ve given the lessons in your child’s current level, you’ll know exactly what to do.

You’ll never be at a loss for what to do next.

Everything is right here. There’s no need to keep searching.

You can settle into your family’s rhythm and trust that as you show up and give the lessons, your child is learning exactly what they need at their own pace, in their own time.

Its’s then that you’ll realize you’ve had a transformation. You have truly become your child’s Montessori guide, their very best teacher.

You are 100% capable of this, and we are so excited to take this journey with you.
