What We Do
Inspired by the Montessori method, Connected Environment recognizes a shift in the educational needs and interests of young children today. We aim to create affordable, educational products to re-connect children with a love for learning and exploring their passions.
“Follow the child.”
-Maria Montessori
Who We Are
Owned and run by a Montessori-trained Early Childhood teacher, Connected Environment is rooted in personal experience. Having attended Montessori from ages 3-13, the philosophy and method always held a special place in her heart.
“I did not stray from Montessori for long. Once back in the classroom, particularly after earning my certification in Early Childhood Ed through the Center for Guided Montessori Studies, the mantra “Follow the child” became even more prevalent in my work. Learning from the children in my own classroom has inspired me to create my own individualized materials. I am sharing them with you all in hopes they can be useful to other EC educators out there as well!” -Kalee Brightmire, Founder of Connected Environment
