Your Montessori Curriculum. Always Ready When You Are.

The Lesson Explorer gives you full access to every lesson across all subject areas, clearly organized and ready to use anywhere you go.

What is the Lesson Explorer?

Have you ever wished you had Montessori at your fingertips? We just made your wish come true! The Lesson Explorer is your new digital library of Montessori lessons, all organized by level 1-6 and by subject area. But this is so much more than a curriculum index. It’s literally the planning tool that makes it possible to homeschool with ease wherever life takes you!

It's also your antidote to mental overload. Dog ate your lesson plan? Toddler spilled applesauce all over it? Left it in your diaper bag and it got smushed to the bottom? NO WORRIES. We’ve got you.

Just grab your phone, type in the topic of the lesson you wanted to teach, and the whole dang script and set of step-by-step instructions you requested magically appears. It’s all searchable, simple, and with you everyday.

How The Lesson Explorer Helps You Homeschool

We think that the Lesson Explorer is the searchable, Montessori lesson database you never knew you needed. But once you have it…you’ll realize you can’t do without it. There are about 3,000 lessons inside this technical marvel. But you won’t have to worry about the rest of those lessons. The job of the Lesson Explorer is to help you find the exact lesson you need at the perfect moment

1. “What should we do today?”

Use your Montessori Planning Cards to choose a lesson. Then type the title of that exact lesson into the search bar. You’ll get detailed step-by-step instructions ready to go in seconds.

2. For inspiration and planning

Not sure where to start? Browse the full curriculum across all six levels and ten subject areas. Find your footing. Get a sense of what’s coming. Feel the progression.

3. When your child is suddenly interested in something

Your child meets a kitten at a friend’s house? Type “pets” in the search bar. Boom—lessons about animal care, classification, anatomy, and more, ready to teach.

4. While you’re traveling

Whether you're at the beach, the park, or visiting grandparents, the Explorer lets you teach wherever life takes you. No hauling clunky 3-ring binders around. Trust us, this is the good kind of tech!

5. When your child wants more independence

Your elementary child can explore lessons alongside you. This builds ownership and excitement, and helps turn homeschooling into a collaborative adventure. 

6. When you’re carrying the weight of everything

Being prepared is a game changer. When your curriculum is instantly accessible, you don’t have to hold it all in your head. The Lesson Explorer takes the pressure off so you can focus on what matters most.
