Our programs are designed to work together synergistically. The Homeschool of the Redwoods programs are our Foundation programs. They will teach you the Montessori method for teaching every subject in sequence, plus you’ll get lessons and demos of the Montessori materials. Primary is for ages 2-6, and Lower El is for 6-9. In the Foundation programs, you are learning the method and applying it.
Constellation takes those same lessons and concepts in our Foundation programs and expands them into full-fledged lesson plans with printable materials provided as a beautiful, “done for you” theme for both age groups (ages 2-9). It’s for both Primary and Lower Elementary age children. This is what we call the Practice. is a perfect way to implement the Montessori method at home for most busy homeschoolers seeking structure and routine.
That said, you do not have to join a Foundation program first. You can jump right into Constellation because it is accessible and rhythmic, even to those who are new to Montessori!
Or…like many of our members who opt for both…you could have your cake and eat it, too!
