About Montessori Lifestyle Inc.

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.

Montessori is more than a method. It’s a lifestyle, and it starts at home.​

Meet NICKY MENDOZA

Our Founder & Director

If you’re reading this, I’m proud of you for your desire to provide the best for your child. I know the journey can get overwhelming sometimes, but remember that you’re not doing it alone. I’m excited to share this journey with you through Montessori Lifestyle, Inc.

My five years of training under the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) and American Montessori Society (AMS), along with my six years of experience as a Montessori lead teacher in the United States, have given me the confidence to work with families in applying the Montessori approach at home.

This space was carefully crafted by families and educators with one goal in mind: an enjoyable and long-lasting experience from the comforts of home.

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

We believe in building and strengthening connections, supporting each other through our own journeys.
