Sophia Rose Montessori

Mia Aguilar, Owner and Guide Hello! My name is Mia. I am a Montessorian mom of a 2 year old girl called Sophia Rose, for which I named the playgroup after. She is my inspiration throughout this whole journey. I came across Maria Montessori and her teachings during pregnancy with Sophia and instantly fell in love with the method. The principles of following and respecting the child was a profound discovery, and our family has been implementing a Montessori-inspired lifestyle ever since. The method deeply resonated with me that I decided to further my journey and take Montessori teacher training. My background includes an AMI (Association Montessori Internationale) Assistant Teacher 3-6 credential, Early Childhood Educator Level 1 in Alberta, and Parent-Infant and Child Facilitator. I am a lifelong learner and constantly taking more training in my journey moving forward. I am also a Volunteer Teacher in various Montessori schools in Edmonton, and I have Childcare CPR certificate and police clearance. I decided to hold Montessori-based Caregiver-Parent-Infant and Child classes to create a community of families that support each other in learning with our children. In this post-pandemic world, I deeply believe in the remarkable value of having a supportive community. It is something that I seek as a parent both for myself and my child, and I am hoping share a little more Montessori with other parents and their children.
