Meet Tracy
"Respect the child as an individual yet equal and contributing member of your family. Make space for them, have appropriate expectations of them, celebrate and support them." - Tracy Allen
I am an imperfect, still working it all out, mom to three children and have a variety of experience with early childhood Montessori.
​
Montessori is the first pedagogy that truly respected and sought to understand what children need, without making the assumption that the adults already know. What Maria Montessori learned then, 125 years ago, has stood the test of modern psychology, education, and parenting.
​
I trained with Montessori Centre International in London, UK and I've worked in Infant and Children's Houses in both Yorkshire, England and California, USA. But I'm not British. I was actually born and raised in South Africa.
​
A Montessori Nest, based in Longmont, Colorado, was created five years ago from my desire to work directly with parents and other caregivers of young children.
​
My aim is for you and the child in your care to experience a safe, peaceful, and inclusive Montessori environment, to work with inviting materials and to witness a child centered mindset.
Whether you fall completely in love with Maria Montessori's insights into children or you resonate with just one or two Montessori principles, I hope to support you in finding what works best for you and for the child in your care.
I invite you to learn in our nest, to tend to your own with confidence.
