As we unpack the key tenets of Montessori education, you'll gain insight into the role of adults as guides and the power of observation.

We also explore how practical life skills can cultivate independence in children.

In the final segment of our discussion, Tori provides some personal insights on striking the right balance between work and parenting.

We explore various factors that one should consider, including the cost of childcare, personal identity, and professional relevance.
