What if your child woke up excited to go to school not because of prizes or grades, but because the learning itself was joyful?
In this thoughtful exchange from the Now What? podcast, Paula Lillard Preschlack, AMI-trained educator and author of The Montessori Potential, joins Yogi Patel—fellow AMI-trained guide, founder of TTE, and founder of two Montessori schools—to share what true joy in learning looks like, and how that same sense of purpose can transform our workplaces and homes.
They discuss:
•How Montessori classrooms foster joy, purpose, and self-motivation
•Why joyful environments don’t happen by accident—they’re intentionally prepared
•What leaders and educators can do to build that same trust and connection in teams
Both Paula and Yogi are Association Montessori Internationale–trained guides and advocates for education that honors the whole human being.
This message is for:
•Parents seeking a better way to raise resilient, motivated children
•Educators committed to respectful, transformative classrooms
•Leaders looking to bring purpose, collaboration, and trust into their teams
