Kelsey · First Bell
I'm Kelsey — a MACTE-certified Montessori teacher, trained at Toronto Montessori Institute, with 14 years in early childhood classrooms, 11 of them in Montessori environments. I hold a BA (Honours) in Educational Studies and I'm completing my Bachelor of Education (Primary/Junior, K–6, graduating 2027), so alongside my studies I'm in schools every week as a supply teacher and a special-needs intervenor — much of that alongside neurodivergent children.
I help parents with school readiness, hard drop-offs, and learning gaps. You leave with a plan you can actually use on Monday morning. Sessions are online, anywhere in Canada.
Skills Analysis
An in-depth look at where your child is, Kindergarten to Grade 6. Intake questionnaire, a printable task set, a 30-minute session with your child, then a written report within a week — strengths, gaps, and what to do next.
Montessori Home Setup
You send a short walkthrough video of your space. I review it, write you a room-by-room plan, and we talk it through on a 45-minute call. No renovation, no expensive materials.
The Gentle Goodbye
For drop-offs that end in tears. We'll work out what's driving it and build a goodbye routine that fits your child. Includes a printable transition kit you can start using the next morning.
School Readiness
A 60-minute call about your child's specific situation, plus a written plan you keep. Practical steps for the weeks before school starts — routines, self-help skills, and what actually matters for the first day.
