My Montessori Child enables teachers to record observations of children’s activities in a manner that’s faithful to Dr Montessori’s method, principles and values. The system automatically uses those observations to track Montessori progress, to generate statutory reports on child development, to support teacher planning, and to facilitate parent-teacher collaboration in furthering a child’s progress.
The ultimate beneficiaries of the system are the children, for several reasons:
- Teachers spend less time on record-keeping, giving them more face-to-face time with the children
- Teachers receive deep and comprehensive insights on how to support each child’s unique learning journey
- Parents are shown how to offer complementary learning opportunities to the children when they’re at home..
My Montessori Child operates securely in the cloud and it is now in widespread use in schools across England and Wales, and increasingly in the USA and Europe.
