Program
Mother–Baby Circles
(0–12 Months)
A calm, connection-first gathering for you and your baby in the first year of life.
The first months with your baby are tender, transformative and often overwhelming. Our Mother–Baby Circles offer a steady, nurturing space where you can ground yourself, build community, and receive trustworthy guidance during this sacred time.
Every group is guided by a qualified AMI 0–3 Montessori Educator, ensuring that the support you receive is both evidence-based and deeply respectful of your baby’s natural development — while still being practical, human, and mother-led.
What’s Included
Weekly In-Person Gatherings
A gentle, rhythmical space to slow down, exhale, and feel truly supported.
Each session includes:
conversation grounded in what real mothers need that week
insights into your baby’s development and simple ways to support them
time to observe, connect, and be with your baby in a calm, prepared environment
opportunities to ask questions and receive guidance when you want it
These gatherings are not classes. They are support circles — shaped by the mothers in the room, week by week.
Ongoing Community Support
Between sessions, you’ll have access to a broader private community of mothers in your local area.
This space:
makes it easy to stay connected
offers a place to share questions, experiences and encouragement
is overseen by your AMI guide to ensure safety, respect and evidence-based information
It’s mother-to-mother support with the scaffolding and safety of professional oversight.
Community Events & Gatherings
Throughout the year, families are invited to gentle community meet-ups designed to build relationships, reduce isolation, and embed you into a village of care.
No pressure, no performance — just connection, kindness and real-life support.
Our Approach
We weave together:
evidence-based developmental guidance
practical, compassionate support
a mother-led, community-driven philosophy
the presence of an AMI 0-3 guide to ensure what you learn is trustworthy, respectful and grounded
Our circles grow and evolve with the people in them. Mothers shape the space. Babies set the pace. The guide offers steady hands and gentle structure — not a rigid curriculum.
How to Join
Circles open in each area once a small cluster of interested mums forms.
Register your interest and we’ll let you know when a group is ready to begin near you.
Whether you’re part of a mothers group and would value the added peace of mind that comes with expert, evidence-based guidance, or you’re building your village from the ground up, you’re welcome here. Our circles complement the warmth of peer-to-peer support with the steadiness of a qualified AMI 0–3 guide.
