Real Support for Real Homeschool Days
Ask questions, get thoughtful answers.
There will be moments when you pause and wonder if you’re on the right track. Maybe an activity was a little messier than you expected. Maybe your child seems resistant to doing anything other than play with their toys. Things just aren’t working the way you expected.
To be fully clear with you: there will be days like this for everyone who homeschools.
It doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong. But there is definitely support for you to get you back to where you know you want to be.
Ask Questions When You Think of Them
Sometimes you just need to ask:
Is this normal?
What would you do here?
How can I adjust this for my child?
And instead of guessing, you get answers from people who understand what you’re experiencing. Parents who are using the same curriculum, learning Montessori, and homeschooling alongside you.
Our community members do not offer you generic advice, and there are no extreme opinions or snarky coments like on Instagram, Facebook, Tik-Tok, or any of those fast-paced but ultimately less-helpful and sometimes-toxic places online.
There are no “dumb questions” in our book, so you can ask anything related to homeschooling or Montessori. And surprisingly, unlike large Facebook groups, we do not generally have to moderate comments. We keep things really tight knit (for active members only), and we are emphatically inclusive. There is no better place to get Montessori support online.
You Don’t Have to Figure it Out By Yourself
When those challenging moments come up, you need more than just more information.
You need a place to explain what is happening at home and get real feedback.
Inside Child of the Redwoods, you’re part of a private community of parents who are doing this alongside you.
They’re giving the lessons, working through the same questions, and figuring things out in real time.
It’s not “social media” and has zero ads in the feed. It’s a calm, focused space where conversations stay thoughtful and supportive. We are here to learn Montessori and make new friends.
Support That Fits Into Your Day
You don’t have to wait for a scheduled time to chat with other Montessori homeschoolers or get answers for a burning question. You can check in when you need to, on your own schedule.
Before breakfast, during lesson-giving time, while at the playground, after bedtime…whenever it’s convenient for you.
Just pop in!
Tell us how your day’s going.

Pop back out—and come back when you have more time. No pressure. Support is always there when you need it.
Find Your People Inside the Community
Sometimes what you really need isn’t just an answer, it’s someone who understands your situation without you having to explain everything first.
Inside the community, you’ll find smaller groups where families connect around shared experiences and interests.
Some parents join the DIY Club to share hands-on projects and creative ideas.
Others connect in the Multilingual Club as they navigate learning in more than one language.
There’s a Book Club for parents who love to read and want to go deeper together.
And a Neurodivergent Club where parents can talk openly and get thoughtful, understanding support.
You can join what feels helpful or create your own club, too. Over time, you start to recognize familiar names, conversations, and rhythms.
This Is How You Stay Consistent
It’s so easy to get excited about something — a new purchase, a new hobby, a new routine.
But then what happens?
You lose steam. The dopamine rush of “this is new!” wears off, leaving you with…choices. You can let it all go, or you can find a way to stay consistent and keep going. Communities like ours provide accountability, motivational challenges, and cameraderie. The value of this cannot be understated.
The parents in our community find common ground, motivation, and they value each other’s uniqueness. This helps them stay the course even when the going gets tough.
Your community is waiting for you.
