Your helper spends more waking hours with your child than anyone. This programme gives her practical Montessori skills for everyday routines - meals, play, transitions, and independence. Real scenarios, real scripts, real strategies she can use from day one. No prior experience required.

After the programme, our helper sets up independent play every morning without being asked.

Course Highlights

What's Included in the My Best Auntie Programme?

  • Group Aunties Training Sessions

    Three live, small-group sessions exclusively for aunties. They learn child development, guidance, and independence in a respectful space without employer pressure. Strong foundations, shared experiences, practical clarity.

  • Private 1:1 Coaching (Family-Specific)

    Three tailored sessions inside your real routines. We observe, align expectations, adjust responses, and coach precise language. Group learning builds knowledge. Private coaching makes it work in your home.

  • Parent Strategy Calls

    We step back, assess progress, and realign direction. You will know what is working, what needs adjusting, and how to prevent small issues becoming long-term patterns.

  • Auntie WhatsApp Community

    A private support group for enrolled aunties. Real-time guidance, peer discussion, and expert moderation. Learning continues between sessions so consistency does not collapse under daily pressure.

  • Scripts, Tools & Real-Life Examples

    Ready-to-use language for real moments. Learn how to guide without shouting, redirect without punishment, and respond calmly to resistance. The right words change behaviour.

  • WhatsApp Support for Parents

    Direct access for questions between sessions. Early guidance prevents escalation and keeps everyone aligned.

  • Written Reports After Each Private Session

    Clear written summaries after every private visit. Observations, focus areas, and immediate next steps. No confusion. No misalignment.

  • Final Programme Report

    A consolidated reference at programme completion. Clear progress overview and future guidance for the next developmental stage.

Taking part in the toddler healthy eating course was a truly rewarding experience for me and my fellow mum friends. Ida's passion for child development shines through every session, and her Montessori-based strategies are practical and easy to implement at home. I left feeling confident and inspired to build healthy, enjoyable mealtime routines for my little one.

Thank you so much for taking Jenelyn's caregiving skills to the next level! I've already noticed a real improvement in how she engages with our child, and the changes have been wonderful to witness. It's not always an easy journey, but the results speak for themselves - we are truly grateful, and our home feels calmer.

Gabriella testimonial image

Our caregiver came back from the course excited, motivated, and full of fresh ideas. I'm already noticing a wonderful shift in her approach - from the language she uses to how she handles toddler moments with calm and patience. The reminder that children mirror the behaviour they see has resonated with our whole family.

Emma testimonial image

My auntie recently completed the pilot programme for 0-12 months, and we couldn't be more grateful for such a wonderful course. She came back with a wealth of ideas that we've already started putting into practice at home. As first-time parents, the detailed course notes were a brilliant bonus - it felt like we were learning right alongside her.

A happy parent testimonial image

After attending the course, our caregiver returned with a real understanding of how to raise an independent, calm toddler - and the difference has been remarkable. I've also had the pleasure of collaborating with Ida professionally on a workshop, and both experiences have been outstanding. The community she creates for caregivers to connect and grow is truly one of a kind.

FAQ

Everything You Need to Know

  • What will my child gain from the My Best Auntie course?

    Your child's caregiver will learn practical Montessori techniques for daily routines, gentle discipline without threats or bribes, age-appropriate activities for children aged 0-6, and how to foster independence in a small Hong Kong home. The result: your child builds confidence, emotional regulation, and real skills through everyday moments. The course includes group sessions, home visits, and personalised coaching.

  • Is the My Best Auntie course suitable for helpers with no childcare experience?

    Yes. The My Best Auntie domestic helper childcare training is designed for all experience levels. No Montessori knowledge or prior childcare training is required - just a willingness to learn.

  • How is My Best Auntie different from a standard helper training course?

    Unlike generic helper training, My Best Auntie is a Montessori-based programme with home visits, personalised coaching, and ongoing support. We observe your helper with your child in your home and provide specific, actionable guidance - not just classroom theory.

  • How long is the My Best Auntie helper training course?

    The course runs over 9 weeks with three group training sessions, three home visits, and three parent alignment calls. It is designed to create lasting behavioural change, not a one-off lecture.

  • Can I join the My Best Auntie course if my helper speaks limited English?

    Yes. Our Montessori helper training uses clear language, demonstrations, visual guidance, and repetition. Fluent English is not required - understanding and consistency are what matter.

  • We live in a small apartment. Will this still work?

    Yes. Most Hong Kong families do, and so do I. We specialise in small-space Montessori setups, shared rooms, and practical routines that do not require expensive materials or furniture.

  • Do I need to follow Montessori perfectly to work with you?

    No. This is Montessori-informed, not Montessori-dogmatic. We focus on principles that improve daily life: independence, respect, consistency, and emotional regulation - adapted to modern Hong Kong homes and caregiving realities.

  • Who is Evolve Sprouts for?

    Evolve Sprouts is for families in Hong Kong with children aged 0-6 who want to make sure their child's daily care supports real development - especially when a helper is the primary caregiver during working hours.

  • How is Montessori relevant for infants and toddlers at home?

    Montessori is not just for classrooms. We teach caregivers to create child-friendly home environments and practical routines that build independence from infancy.

  • What is the difference between positive discipline and regular discipline?

    Traditional discipline often relies on rewards and punishments. Positive discipline focuses on understanding behaviour, setting clear boundaries, and coaching children toward self-regulation.

  • Are these strategies culturally appropriate for Hong Kong families?

    Yes. We adapt Montessori principles to local lifestyles, including small homes, busy schedules, and helper-supported caregiving.
