Montesenior started when I found myself caring for my mother and homeschooling my daughter with my Montessori materials. I used this materials as a way to entertain her since she was in bed all day. I quickly notice an increase how this work improved her cognitive abilities, independence and even mood. Since then I decided to dedicate my life to use the Montessori Method and help seniors and Dementia patients.
