Blue background with white logo and text for Montessori Makers Group, featuring a hexagonal puzzle piece icon and the slogan 'Where we make Montessori modern'.

Where Montessori evolves—new tools, new stories, new possibilities.

Montessori Makers Group is a constellation of projects, platforms, and creative work reshaping what Montessori can be for today’s children, educators, and communities.

We believe Montessori isn’t static — it’s alive.


It adapts, expands, and evolves.
It learns from research.
It honors justice.
It builds belonging.
It centers humanity.
It prepares adults as intentionally as it prepares children.

This work is creative.
This work is cosmic.
This work is collective.

Montessori Makers Group exists to build the tools, systems, and stories that help Montessori grow into its next chapter.

Thread of the Work
Every branch of Montessori Makers Group is built on the same commitments:

  • Montessori as movement, not museum

  • Justice as the path to peace

  • Clarity as a gift to children and adults

  • Systems that liberate, not restrict

  • Tools that empower the people doing the work

  • Stories that reflect the world children actually live in

This is a living ecosystem — built for guides, families, leaders, and communities who believe Montessori’s future is expansive.

Behind the Work

Montessori Makers Group was founded by Hannah Richardson, a Montessori leader, strategist, and creator with more than 20 years across independent, public, charter, and justice-centered Montessori spaces.

Her work centers liberation, clarity, and belonging — and the belief that Montessori’s next chapter must be radically human.
