Made for real classrooms — because I teach in one too

Hi, I'm Lisa. I'm a Montessori-trained teacher, New Zealand registered teacher, former homeschooler and founder of a Montessori primary school.

I create resources for the realities teachers and homeschoolers actually face: mixed ages, limited preparation time, children working at different levels, tight budgets and learners who don't always fit neatly into one box.

Every MontessoriKiwi resource is designed to make meaningful, hands-on learning easier to prepare, easier to use and more accessible to diverse learners.

Kim - Montessori Measurement: "was looking for a complete age related study for volume and capacity measurement. This one is great"

Pearl - Modern Montessori Science of Reading Bundle. "Mindblown by the amount of content in this bundle! Real images and aligned with the Science of reading."

Abigail - Early Life Research for Montessori "I work at a small school with a small budget, meaning we can’t afford to buy more Montessori works than we already have in the classrooms. Anytime I want to bring something new into my classroom I look on this website. Everything is high quality, and the students in my class love to use them. I’m excited to introduce the new materials that I bought this year, especially the early life research materials! My older students will love it!"
