A Head Start for Infants and Toddlers (8mo-3y)
Montessori education concept tailored for your children delivered to your home
My program is defined by the practical application of sensory-based and self-directed learning through the authentic Montessori Method. The goal is to prepare children to be focused, independent, and innovative learners, as well as responsible, respectful, and mindful individuals.
This program is held in children’s own home environment as the best safe place for your child’s development.
The toddler years are the time when children use their bodies, senses, and emerging problem-solving skills to learn about and make sense of their world, in ways most meaningful and effective for them.
Dr. Montessori was one of the first educators to recognize the first few years of a child’s life as critical to the development of personality and intellect. Toddlers are actively seeking out information, they learn quickly and easily, and are especially interested in demonstrating independence.
As children get older, they tend to see things that adults find ordinary as very interesting and special. Practical life exercises like sorting, pouring, or washing dishes absorb them completely.
We recognize this as the beginning of control and coordination of mind and body. That’s why Montessori learning revolves around tangible, hands-on experiences.
Children seek hands-on experiences and concrete materials to learn.
"Any family who hires Lenka is so fortunate! She became part of our family and we miss her so much! She is very professional and easy to work with as a parent. I always felt confident that my kiddos would be safe, engaged in learning and play, and well loved while Lenka was in our house. Lenka always arrived with a bag with art projects and educational activities and my kids were always so happy and proud to show me their projects when I returned. My kids adore her and were always so excited when she would come. We only wish she still lived close to us!"

"Lenka is truly a best in class caregiver. Thanks to Lenka's insights on how to approach the growth and teaching of a child are invaluable. I truly feel that Lenka's support has made me and my wife more confident parents and set our daughter for future growth. I can't express how much we will miss Lenka. Lenka is the best at what she does!

"Lenka has brought so much joy and peace to our home in a way I didn't think was possible with full time work from home parent and an energetic toddler. It has been wonderful to watch our daughter grow and band with Lenka. I have been so impressed by Lenka's approach and the impact Lenka had on my daughter's confidence and enthusiasm to learn, and sharing so many insights and tools with me/us to help me/us learn and grow as well. Because of Lenka we have been able to enjoy stress free family meals, more quality family time, and a new outlook to our daughter's growth. Our daughter loves Lenka very much and I feel blessed to had Lenka as a partner in our daughter's care.

"Lenka is absolutely amazing! She always comes on time and brings lots of fun activities for my two small children. I love coming home and seeing the project they have made. My children talk about her frequently when she is not there, wanting to tell or show her something, and I know it is because of her engaging and loving care style. Lenka has become a part of our family and we all will miss her dearly! Any family that gets to work with Lenka is extremely lucky!"

"Lenka was a teacher for my son Frederick and daughter Issabel since they were 3 years old till 6 years. They loved to be in Lenka's class. Lenka's teaching style is about discovering of creativity and individual talents of each child. She leads the children to be able to work with the challenging sides of their personality. She gives always good feedback and suggestion, that I as a parent sometimes need."

"Lenka has been teaching my son since he was two years old. (He is almost 5.) She is dedicated to her students and makes the classroom fun for all of them. Our son looks forward to the time spent there. She makes a plan for every lesson and informs us about it ahead of the time, so the children have something to look forward to. I can see my son's learning progress and he loves to share what they were working on. I couldn't be more happy and thankful about having my son in Lenka's class. "
