Course Overview

A 6-hour interactive training (3 sessions × 2 hours) designed to equip helpers with Montessori strategies and positive discipline tools tailored for preschoolers in Hong Kong’s unique urban environment.

Key Takeaways:

• Transform small spaces into Montessori-friendly environments that foster independence.
• Master calm, respectful conflict resolution for tantrums and sibling fights.
• Teach practical life skills (cooking, cleaning) to build confidence.
• Create joyful, child-led mealtimes that encourage healthy habits.

Why This Course Stands Out

✅ Hong Kong-specific: Addresses small-space challenges and urban stressors.

✅ Real-life tools: Includes scripts, activity ideas, and setup checklists.

✅ Ongoing support: Access to Auntie Circle for peer advice and troubleshooting.

Perfect for: Aunties, nannies and parents who want to:

• Reduce power struggles with preschoolers.
• Foster independence in daily routines.
• Create a calm, cooperative home environment.

Empower helpers to raise confident, capable preschoolers—one Montessori step at a time! 🌱
