Common questions about Toolbox.
Are these templates or finished documents?
These are editable, implementation-ready templates — not locked PDFs. Every product comes with a Word or Google Docs editable version designed to be adapted to your school's voice and context.
Do I need to be working with Montessori Makers Advisory to use these?
No. Each tool is designed to stand alone. That said, schools working with Advisory often use these as implementation resources during engagements.
Are these appropriate for all Montessori schools?
Yes — public, independent, and charter. The tools are built around Montessori organizational values, not a specific AMI or AMS framework.
What format do the files come in?
Products are delivered as PDF + editable Word/Google Docs files. You receive download access immediately after purchase.
Is there a refund policy?
Because these are digital downloads, all sales are final. If you have questions about whether a product is right for your school, reach out before purchasing.
Not sure which tool fits?
Start with a conversation. Advisory can help identify which tools support the work your school is doing.
