We’re in this together.

Our Journey

In 2020, Montessori Lifestyle Inc. (MLI) began with a passion for empowering families to embrace the Montessori lifestyle from the very beginning. The initial days were filled with excitement and dedication, laying the foundation for a mission-driven approach. Our motivation stems from a deep belief in the transformative power of Montessori principles.

Our journey started with a vision to create a space where families could immerse themselves in the essence of Montessori philosophy.

The commitment to quality and authenticity guided us through the early days, shaping the trajectory of Montessori Lifestyle Inc.

OUR FOUNDER & DIRECTOR

Hello! I’m glad you’re here.

I’m Nicky, and if you’re reading this, I’m truly proud of you for wanting the very best for your child. I can imagine how overwhelming parenting can be, but please remember you’re never alone. I’m genuinely excited to support you on this wonderful path.

With five years of back-to-back training in the United States from the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) and American Montessori Society (AMS), along with experience as a Montessori lead teacher since 2014, I’m equipped and passionate about enhancing childhood experiences.

Montessori Lifestyle, Inc. began as a vision among educators and blossomed beautifully through the courage and dedication of our pioneer families, who committed wholeheartedly to a new lifestyle, even through the challenges of the pandemic. Together, we’ve built a warm, supportive community dedicated to creating Montessori at home and beyond.

Montessori & Homeschool movers join forces to give your child the best of both worlds.
