Aubrey Hargis, M.Ed teacher, writer and Co-founder of Child of the Redwoods with her husband David. Aubrey is a Montessori parent educator she is best known for her empathetic approach and appreciation for the beauty of childhood. As a life-long Montessori advocate, former public school teacher, and AMS certified Lower Elementary guide, her passion has always been to bring Montessori into the mainstream.
She has written two child development books, Toddler Discipline for Every Age and Stage and Baby's First Year Milestones and is the lead instructor for all of Child of the Redwoods’ current programs. Her Big Dream? To make Montessori affordable and accessible to parents all over the world.
Aubrey and David founded Child of the Redwoods in 2017 to provide high quality, developmentally aligned online courses and curriculum to parents.
Top three takeaways
- Most people don't know that children are basically capable of teaching themselves. Our role as teachers/homeschoolers is better thought of as guiding rather than instructing.
- Montessori is for every child because it is developmentally based and individualized - but it's not necessarily for every parent.
- How Child of the Redwoods aims to continue this work but outside of the school system. Our goal is to help parents understand their children deeply so that teaching is intuitive.
