Hi, I’m Maria Kitching
Welcome! I’m a certified teacher with a deep passion for Montessori education, creativity, and helping learners of all ages find their spark. I’ve been fortunate to live and teach on three different continents, and my journey through classrooms from kindergarten to high school has shaped my understanding of education as an empowering force.
With Montessori Elementary 1 and 2 certifications, I bring Montessori principles into everything I teach, focusing on choice, motivation, and inspiring learners to take ownership of their education. For me, Montessori isn’t just a method; it’s a philosophy that opens doors for curiosity, independence, and lifelong learning.
After years of teaching, I’m currently on a break due to a functional neurological disorder, an unexpected challenge that has reshaped my approach to education. Although I’m uncertain when I’ll return to the classroom, I’m committed to continuing my journey online. My goal is to create resources that encourage independent thinking and empower both teachers and parents to foster a love of learning in their students and children.
Whether you’re an educator, a parent, or simply someone interested in a Montessori-inspired approach, I hope this space provides you with inspiration, practical tools, and insights to support meaningful learning. Let’s work together to motivate students, ignite curiosity, and build a world where every learner is empowered by choice and inspired to learn.
Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to connecting with you!
