So you run around taking care of the house, watching over two adorable energetic girls, filling their noggins with knowledge the montessori way, and now your homeschooling!? Somehow you manage to keep you and your family healthy, look great and have an awesome attitude while doing it. Thanks for sharing all you do. Your an inspiring woman. I have a 4 month old and have to remind myself to comb my hair at times 🤭. Keep on keeping on 👍!

Yes please show us what's in all of the boxes. You give me so much inspiration.

Yes, a bin tour would be great! Also some information on the learning areas would be helpful. How do you decide on those categories? Is it something you just know as a teacher, or are there Montessori specific areas? Can people add their own areas, based on their child's/family's needs?

My suggestion for the preschool videos: I think think you could make one video per unit. You could show us a sample day-in-the-life, and then have the rest of the video be in the same format as your Montessori activity ideas videos, with what Kylie is doing, and your explanation in voice over.

This looks great Ashley, I'm so excited for Kylie to go through this!

As a preschool teacher in Finland, I find your homeschooling Montessori planner so satisfying! And what you have said in the video about the method "following your child's interests", is precisely what the Finnish early childhood education is based on! :)

Unit Studies are the best. I homeschooled my kids (all grown now) and we did tons of Unit Studies. Our Unit Studies were the core of the curriculum and were supplemented by mathematics. You'll enjoy it. It is tons of work, but joyful work. Besides, you do learning activities with your kids everyday anyway. Don't get too hung up on the idea of "school". Enjoy your kids and let them learn. Oh, by the way, my Granddaughter loves to watch your videos. I just say, "Do you want to watch the kids?" and she climbs right up on my lap to watch them live their everyday lives. She's going to be one year old next month.

You are my favourite person to watch on YouTube! I have learnt so much from you, I am definitely a better mum to my toddler because of your videos. I love the fact that you post every week and keep your word to your audience. Some many youtubers post now and again and treat it like a chore. Great video today and it’s amazing you are sharing all this work with us for free. You work so so hard for your children’s education. Thank you again!

W o w 😳 I can't imagine how much work you have put into all this. I'm sorry your plans to send Kylie to a Montessori school didn't work out but know that as your viewers we are benefitting from what you generously are sharing with us. Of course we'd love a what-is-in - the - boxes tour! I purchased your Montessori e-course and haven't checked anything for toddlers older than Mia as my son is a few mo ths younger than Mia but I know this will complement anything that you've shared in the e-course! Thanks again so much for all this precious information. I think I wasn't ready to understand how much hard work homeschooling actually is and I pray I'm capable of doing a good job 😅 I truly wonder how you remain sane while educating yourself, your daughters, looking after the house, being a wife, and producing videos! We busy parents and mums need to know!haha
Bless you, and thanks again ❤️

Would it be possible to show us a typical full "homeschooling routine in a day" video? And also, THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS AMAZING COURSE WORK WITH US!

[jacklynsmith]

I would LOVE to see everything in those boxes! I need ideas for different activities in all those different categories!!

[gibythankam]

Thank you so much for sharing.. Im new to Montessori and i love watching your content.

[tiffanychalmers]

Wow! Ashley, thank you so much for sharing all of this! Do you plan (even loosely) for Mia at all? My youngest is two months younger than Mia and I’ve been using your activity guides, but was wondering if you have any kid of structure in terms of the day and how you fit activities in around both girls. Hope that question makes sense....
And, yes, I’d love to see inside all of the boxes!

[clairechu]

I would love a video of you showing what in all your boxes.

[darlaemery]

Yes please! I would love a bin tour! Thank you for all your help. You are making a difference in many lives!

[martasanchez]

Thank you so so much! Just took the decision to homeschool rather than preschool. And I'm very glad to have stumbled upon your video. Very helpful!

[AnasNoBuyYear]

You have put in soooo much work on this! It’s so awesome that you’re willing to share for free with parents who are struggling and appreciate the support. Trying to be better about watching ads on your videos to support. I don’t have kids yet but still watch every video you make 😊

[LittleOwlHomeschool]

Great video! We have homeschooled since my daughter was 2 1/2 years old. We started with some Montessori inspired instruction and even today in first grade we are child lead. My daughter picks a subject and I create a unit study for her. I usually have a curriculum as our core and add a ton to it. Great to see you’re going down that path as well! I get so many extra ideas from your channel! 💕

[katieeckler]

You’re amazing!! Stay at home mom integrating Montessori into daily life, homeschool teacher, youtuber/blogger, and a wife!! You go girl! Take a break if you ever need one, we understand. ❤️❤️

[JustGeenuh]

I really enjoy the Montessori style of teaching. I don’t have children yet but even though I am a teacher, I feel that homeschooling would be a whole different ball game. Thanks for sharing your story! 🤗

[esthersalcove]

Wow! Looks like you sure took a lot of time planning, definitely visible that you've done planning before, I'm definitely coming back to watch this video again

I love seeing a fellow teacher at work! Your teacher binder made me so happy! I love organization! Great video! 😊😊
