Stay focused on what matters most.

Homeschooling Is Easier When You Don't Have to Remember Everything
There are so many little details to keep track of.
Which lesson comes next?
Did we already present that one?
What was I going to teach tomorrow?
I wanted to remember something my child said…
Instead of keeping all of that in your head, the Child of the Redwoods App keeps everything organized in one place.
You stay present with your child.
The app remembers the rest.

How Families Use The App
When you're deciding what to teach this week.
Choose up to four Focus Lessons and let the app keep them front and center, so you always know what comes next.
When you're trying to stay organized.
Instead of sticky notes, bookmarks, or trying to remember everything, keep your lesson plans, progress, and observations together in one place.
When you're wondering what comes next.
The app recommends lessons based on your child's level, making it easier to move through the curriculum with confidence.
When you notice something important.
The Montessori method begins with observation.
Quickly type or dictate a note about something your child said, a new skill you noticed, or a lesson you'd like to revisit later.
Those little moments become part of your homeschooling story.
When you're tracking progress.
Mark lessons complete as your child gains understanding and watch your progress grow over time.
No separate record keeping required.
When you're away from your homeschool shelf.
At the park, waiting for swim lessons, or enjoying a quiet moment with coffee? Your homeschool plan is always close at hand.
One of the app's most loved features is the Focus Lessons.
Rather than looking at hundreds of possible lessons, you'll choose just a few to focus on this week.
Here’s Sunny. She’s in Level 4, and she’s working on four foundational lessons per week in addition to her theme lessons.
Her parent took a few minutes to choose these from the recommended list for Sunny and popped them into her Focus for the week. She’s all ready to go!
Your Weekly Montessori Focus
The app helps you decide what to teach next without feeling overwhelmed.
A smaller list creates greater clarity.
And greater clarity helps homeschooling feel peaceful.
Observe What Matters
Observation is one of the foundations of Montessori.
The app makes it easy to capture those everyday moments before they're forgotten.
You might notice:
A new interest in a subject matter.
A math concept that suddenly clicked.
A favorite lesson on repeat.
A funny quote you'll love reading again later!
Quickly type a note or use voice dictation while the moment is fresh.
Over time, those observations become a beautiful record of your child's growth.
Track Your Child's Progress
As your child masters new concepts, simply mark lessons complete.
The app tracks your progress through the curriculum, making it easy to see what lessons you’ve given and what's still ahead.
You’ll always have a clear picture of your child's Montessori journey.

Why Families Love the App
To be honest? When we talk to the parents who are using it, they rarely tell us they love the app because it tracks lessons. I mean…it does a great job at that!
But the honest, anonymous feedback we got from families in Unlimited who beta tested the app this year and helped us refine it was much more significant: they tell us they love how it changes the way homeschooling feels.
Instead of staring at an entire curriculum, they focus on just a few meaningful lessons for the week.
They trust the recommendations.
No one’s juggling planners, sticky notes, and spreadsheets, and everything lives together in one place.
They celebrate progress.
They’re capturing observations before they're forgotten.
And they feel confident they're building a complete Montessori education, one lesson at a time.
One parent shared this:
“It makes it so much easier to see only what’s coming up next, rather than being faced with the entire scope and sequence and feeling paralyzed with overwhelm.”
Another told us:
“The best part is the ease of documenting and reflecting. I rarely make time for this, but typing it into the app before marking a lesson complete is so intuitive.”
That's exactly why we built it! And we think you’ll love it, too.
