What Montessori Education does

Montessori Education (MontessoriEducation.com) is a privately held, founder-operated content and education platform founded in March 2018 by Jesse McCarthy and headquartered in South Florida. The company produces and distributes educational material on the Montessori method for two primary segments: parents seeking to understand or implement Montessori principles at home, and educators and teachers looking for classroom implementation and professional development guidance. Its core offerings are The Montessori Education Podcast (100+ episodes since launch, distributed on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and Stitcher), an extensive blog of 200+ articles on Montessori philosophy, discipline, and child development, a YouTube channel of explanatory videos, and the Montessori Discipline Program, a structured course teaching discipline without rewards or punishments. The business also generates speaking revenue via keynotes, workshops, and webinars, including a keynote at the Montessori Florida Coalition annual conference (~500 educators) and global live engagements, while operating in parallel with McCarthy's separate venture, La Casa, The Schoolhouse.
