The Montessori Elementary Child
(6-12yo)
FEELING LOST AS YOUR MONTESSORI CHILD ENTERS MAINSTREAM EDUCATION?
STILL DETERMINED TO GIVE YOUR 6-12YO CHILD A MONTESSORI HOME AND KEEP THE LOVE OF LEARNING ALIVE?
NEED FRESH IDEAS FOR PREPARING THE HOME ENVIRONMENT FOR YOUR 6-12YO?
My course has helped over 200 parents around the world, and it can help you too.
HI, I’M JASMINE FROM THREE MINUTE MONTESSORI.
I’m an AMI Assistant trained for ages 0-3, 3-6 and 6-12yo from the renowned Maria Montessori Institute, London, UK.
I’m also a qualified teacher who has taught, led and made policy in mainstream education in Singapore. My husband is an AMI Assistant for 6-12 too, and an award-winning mainstream teacher. Between us, we’ve taught hundreds of Singapore students aged 6-18yo.
But above all, I’m a mother to two elementary-aged children, whom I’ve raised the Montessori way – they’ve reaped the benefits of Montessori from birth, and I’m keen to keep it going in their schooling years!
Just one problem… when my children were about to leave Montessori preschool and enter mainstream school, there was no content specific and tailored to families like ours. All the content out there, was either to train adults as Montessori classroom teachers, OR about the ins and outs of full-blown homeschooling.
So, leveraging my AMI 6-12 Assistant training and expertise as policymaker/ educator, I created The Montessori Elementary Child. It’s a course for Montessori parents like me, with children entering what Maria Montessori called “the greatest intellectual period”.
Creating a Montessori home & childhood for your 6-12yo is simpler than you think…
You just need to know the key Montessori principles and practices that have been tried-and-tested with the 6-12yo age group.
I will give you a comprehensive (yet customisable!) framework to adapt for your home and child.
After you learn the framework in my course, you can:
- help your child’s incredible intellect to flourish… no matter which school they attend!
- set up an inspiring learning environment at home
Course Framework
Unit 1 Cosmic Education
- The elementary child’s vast intellect is often underrated by mainstream schools
- Learn 2 key things that set Montessori elementary apart from traditional modes of education, big work and cosmic education. For this age group, you want to give them the keys to not just the world but the cosmos
Unit 2 Storytelling and the Great Stories
- We don’t want children to merely know a subject, but to be completely immersed in it. That’s the power of storytelling! Learn how we can use stories to breathe life into learning, from grammar to geometry
- The Five Great Stories form the cornerstone of cosmic education. Be enlightened on all Five Great Stories and the varied fields of study they open up for your child
- New: Video demos of all 5 Great Stories by me at home and by a practising AMI-trained Elementary Guide! (See image below)
Unit 3 The Transition
- Your child is changing but can’t place your finger on exactly how or how to parent? Gain clarity with my succinct overview of the differences between the 1st (0-6) and 2nd (6-12yo) plane. (These comparisons are extra-helpful if your child has 0-6yo siblings)
- Signs to spot if your child is moving into the 2nd plane –it’s not age 6 on the dot!
- Plus, practical tips on homework and time management for a smooth transition into Elementary school (known as Primary school in Singapore)
Unit 4 Developing Self-Responsibility
- Master 2 Montessori tools for your child to develop personal responsibility over their learning… Equally applicable to distance. hybrid or regular schooling!
- Children thrive in a well-organised space- get my best tips for setting up a child’s work/ study space to maximise homework independence and productivity
Unit 5 The Elementary Prepared Environment
- More mess, less order at home? That’s because your Prepared Environment for your 6-12yo looks and functions differently from that of a 0-6yo
- Curate the stimulating yet calm environment a 6-12yo child needs at home. Loaded with learning materials spanning history, geography, science, math, etc… with a special emphasis on selecting quality literature for this age group
- New: sneak video peek into a Montessori elementary classroom in London!
Unit 6 Learning Without Walls
- Use this key Montessori concept to bring learning outside the four walls of the home and classroom for it to be deep, real and character-forming (suits virtual learning too!)
- It takes trust and minimal planning, but your child may amaze you by rising to the opportunity for child-led learning
Unit 7 Four Planes of Development (0-24yo)
- Succinct overview of Montessori from 0-24yo, with comparison of regular and Montessori education
Unit 8 Montessori Homes & Mainstream Education (NEW)
- Practical tips for entering and thriving in mainstream, while keeping the joy of learning alive!
- Includes: interview with an AMI-trained, award-winning mainstream teacher on adjustment, using Montessori-style meetings for virtual/ Home-Based Learning (HBL), and establishing strong after-school rhythms
That’s the framework that will guide you through the next 6 years of your child’s development!

Client Angela is an AMS-certified guide, well-known Montessori blogger and homeschooler who enrolled in my course. Check out her blog post (scroll halfway down for her review of my course).
This course suits:
- Parents of 5-12yos
- Parents whose children attend a mainstream/ hybrid school- you can start integrating Montessori right away!
- Parents of 0-6yos who want to learn about their child’s next phase (a parent of a 2.5yo holds the record for current youngest child!)
- Mainstream and Montessori educators teaching kindergarteners through 12yo age group
It doesn’t suit:
- Those who want a full-blown homeschool curriculum for 6-12. For homeschoolers, take this course to gain an in-depth understanding on the 6-12 child’s development and how to tailor an environment to meet the changes in the second plane, then purchase homeschooling curricula or albums to flesh out the details
