Hi, I’m Anne Janai
I'm an AMS-Certified Montessori guide and parent. I taught all three of my own children to read.
I have master's in clinical psychology from Harvard University and am especially interested in the connection between the Montessori method of education and Mihaly Csiksezentmihaly's concept of "flow."
Children Learn through Play
The beauty of the Montessori method is that children choose academics. They learn because they want to learn.
How to Present the Alphabet
Teach young children the sounds of the small letters, not the names of the capital letters.
The Montessori Way
Learn how Montessori teachers engage very young children in the joy of the English language.
