Featured Releases
The Montessori Staff Handbook Toolkit (Editable Template)
A comprehensive, customizable 124-page staff handbook designed specifically for Montessori school environments. This toolkit supports leaders in building clear, equitable, and values-aligned policies while honoring Montessori culture, adult dignity, and the prepared adult environment.
Instead of starting from scratch — or retrofitting a generic HR handbook — this template gives you a thoughtfully structured foundation that blends legal awareness, Montessori identity, professional expectations, and community alignment.
Whether you’re updating an outdated handbook, preparing for accreditation or expansion, or building clarity across your adult community, this resource is designed to support real implementation — not paperwork for its own sake.
The Montessori Family Handbook Toolkit (Editable Template)
A comprehensive, customizable 58-page family handbook designed specifically for Montessori school communities. This resource helps leaders communicate expectations, partnership norms, school culture, and key policies in a way that reflects Montessori values, dignity, and belonging — without relying on generic school language that doesn’t fit the Montessori environment.
Instead of piecing together family communication from scattered emails or outdated documents, this template provides a thoughtfully structured framework that blends clarity, accessibility, Montessori identity, and equity-aligned language so families understand not just what the rules are — but the values and purpose behind them.
Whether you’re updating an existing handbook, standardizing communication across programs, or strengthening trust and transparency with families, this template is designed to support real-world implementation and partnership, not just information delivery.
