Show Notes:

Have you ever wondered if your child would do better in a learning environment with no grades and no homework? We’re sitting down with Wendy Kaneshige, a Montessori guide for over a decade, who is breaking down the differences between Montessori schools and traditional schools. We’re constantly learning about new ways to meet the needs of our kids and how to help them develop. Montessori is a program that teaches us as parents and our kids to listen to our guts and follow the intuition that we're born with. Listen in to hear if Montessori might be right for you!
