Monti Kids Founder, Zahra Kassam, Welcomes Baby Number Two

Monti Kids was inspired by my experience with our first baby, Musa. After years of teaching preschool, I was so excited when I had my own child to do Montessori at home. I was determined to give my son the best start, right from birth. But I quickly realized that even years of experience as a Montessori teacher had not prepared me. I struggled to balance being a new mom while trying to prepare a stimulating environment and keep up with his development at every turn. While teaching parent/baby classes in my neighborhood, I met so many parents who understood the importance of the early years but felt confused about how to best support their baby’s development. I was not able to recommend a simple solution because it did not exist. So I set out to create one.

Five years later, we welcome our second child just a few months after Monti Kids launched!  I’m so grateful that we can use Monti Kids to create a Montessori home environment with him!

Meet our new baby boy, Zayd.
