What other Parents say
Just imagine
- Your nanny would be able to guide your child how to positively deal with strong emotions.
- Your child would have less meltdowns and be able to regulate himself more easily.
- You come home and observe how your nanny talks with your child about different emotions.

Children who learn from early on how to recognize and handle emotions lay the foundation for a balanced and kind personality later on. Let´s get your nanny on board on this journey!

Participant Voices



Hi, I am Maria

… a mother of three children between 2 and 10 years old and an expert on Montessori play-based education.
I am training nannies in play-based learning and positive education. More than 180 nannies have already completed the Creative Play & Learning Training.
Having lived over ten years in Benin, Ethiopia and Vietnam, I know exactly how difficult it can be to find a nanny who shares your educational values.
As a mom of three, I have had my fair share of tantrums. But dealing with emotions is not only challenging for us as parents but also for our children´s caregivers. From a Montessori perspective, recognizing and learning how to handle emotions is one of the important skills children should learn to become ´normalised´. This is why I believe this course is so important for nannies.
The Course starts on 6 September
in Hanoi, Tay Ho (min. 5 nannies)
