Do You Recognise Yourself?
Childcare is More Than Supervision - It Shapes Your Child's Entire Future
1
You're a career mama abroad.
You’ve invested in a nanny, given instructions ten times over, and yet daily frustration keeps returning…
2
Screen Time & Boredom sneak in
Baby Shark is on repeat for the third hour in a row, toys collect dust, and when you ask “What did you do today?”, the answer is always “played and went to the park.”

Lack of Initiative
More than 450 families have already walked this path before you
If you’re a mom who no longer wants to watch helplessly as your child spends more time in front of a screen each day, instead of building their curiosity and independence, then our Montessori Nanny Academy is exactly what your family needs.
“Reading Montessori books in theory is one thing, but this training gave our nannies the true confidence to put those concepts into practice. I noticed a huge surge in creativity and hands-on activities for both our baby and toddler. Beyond the activities, their communication and proactive thinking have completely elevated. The training was everything I hoped for: super practical, and loved by both of our nannies from start to finish!”
Julia, mom of a 6 months and a 3 year old
“Our nanny was so engaged and excited throughout the training! The biggest shift has been moving from overprotectiveness to fostering true independence. She now steps back, trusts our child to try things on his own, and even reminds others to ‘let him do it.’ It’s given her so much pride and changed our home dynamic for the better.“
Merel, mom of a 1 year old
“This training brought such an incredible transformation to our home! My nanny was super enthusiastic, and seeing how much fun the kids are having with the new activities has been amazing. It brought back so many creative ideas for hands-on play that I had forgotten about myself. It’s so wonderfully practical and engaging for the kids. We would sign up for a refresher or advanced module in a heartbeat!“
Michelle, mom of a 1 and 4 year old

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need To Know
Not at all. Most of the nannies who come through our Academy start with no formal childcare training and varying levels of English — and that’s exactly who this programme is built for. We teach in clear, simple language, with plenty of visuals, demonstrations, and hands-on practice rather than dense theory. What matters far more than existing qualifications is willingness to learn and genuine care for the child. By the end of the training, she’ll have both the Montessori foundation and the professional confidence — no prior background required.
Absolutely not. True Montessori is a philosophy, not a commercial toy brand. Our training focuses entirely on accessible education, teaching your caregiver how to repurpose everyday household items, kitchen utensils, and natural materials to create high-impact learning invitations.
The Academy covers children from birth to 6 years. Activities and modules are adapted by age and developmental stage — babies, toddlers, and preschoolers each have their own focus, materials, and pacing. Because every child (and every nanny) is different, participants also receive individual feedback throughout the training, so what she’s learning is tailored to your specific child, not a one-size-fits-all curriculum.We know a nanny’s day is already full, so the training is designed to fit around it, not compete with it. The Montessori Nanny Training runs over 4 weeks, and the First 1,000 Days Premium Family Package extends over 6 months — in both cases, we adapt the pace to your family’s reality, typically just 2–5 hours a week. No need to pause her daily responsibilities; the training works alongside them, with what she learns applied directly during her normal time with your child.

Yes, absolutely – and we love when families do this together. Training as a group builds momentum, shared accountability, and a stronger sense of community among both parents and nannies. Reach out and we’ll find the format that suits your group best, whatever size it is. We’ve run the Academy everywhere from Mali to Lusaka to Doha – wherever you and your community are, we can bring it there.
Both pathways give your nanny a genuine Montessori foundation – the difference is in depth and duration.
Pathway 1 — The Montessori Nanny Training is a focused 4-week programme for families who mainly want their nanny trained. She gets 7 Foundation Modules, a 30-Activity Library (0–3 years), essential templates and daily handover tools, live training and community support, and a CPD Certificate of Completion. It’s a clear, practical starting point — no complicated setup, no expensive materials — perfect for immediate, tangible results, or for local mama groups taking their first step together.
Pathway 2 — The First 1,000 Days (Premium Family Package) ⭐ our recommended option — goes further: 4 weeks to transform your nanny, and 6 months to build a genuinely Montessori-aligned family. Alongside 7 Extended Foundation + 5 Advanced Modules and a 60+ Activity Library with 26 Weekly Playplanners, it includes a Parent Education Programme, a Multilingual Parenting Course, exclusive Lovevery Toys training, a private Family-Nanny Alignment Call with Maria, 6 months of live calls, community and quarterly reviews, and a graduation ceremony with professional certificate. This pathway doesn’t just train your nanny — it aligns your whole family around one shared approach, and supports you, too, as a working mama, for long enough that the change actually sticks.
Both pathways are fully available online, wherever you are in the world. And if you have 5 or more families in your city, we can bring the Academy on-site to your community, with the same world-class curriculum delivered in person.
