Build a bridge

between home and school

Nurture caregiver engagement through events that bring the science of brain development and
the Montessori method together.

Build a partnership that brings Montessori into the family’s home

“We want continued learning and support for our caregiver and staff community—but from Montessori-aligned experts!”

“There is so much we want to share with caregivers but we simply don’t have the bandwidth”

“We need families to support our guides by providing continuity of Montessori principles at home”

WELCOME!
You’ve come to the right place

Current scientific research confirms what the Montessori method has put into practice for over a century: a prepared adult, a prepared environment, and respect for the child as a capable learner are the foundation for building autonomy, self-discipline, and an intrinsic love for learning.

You work tirelessly to bring these elements to life in your school community, but how are you helping your parent community engage in the same mission at home?

Meet Blanca

From setting limits to nurturing autonomy, welcoming big emotions, and finding a respectful parenting approach in the process… How are caregivers and educators supposed to digest all the research, books, and expert advice into actionable strategies for everyday life with young children?

Blanca is a licensed child psychotherapist (LPC) and former psychosocial researcher with graduate training in Clinical Psychology, devoted to translating all the child development research and parenting books into practical, research-informed tools to nurture healthy emotional development within the home, with the Montessori method in mind.

Blanca founded WHOLE CHILD HOME after almost a decade of experience as a psychotherapist and psychosocial researcher to help bridge the gap between all the developmental research and everyday life as a parent.

As a former Montessori student herself, and now a Montessori parent, she firmly believes in the Montessori method as a key component to support the young child’s emotional development within the home. Since 2020, Blanca has supported Montessori families globally and has partnered with international Montessori organizations to bring evidence-based learning that makes research-informed and Montessori-aligned parenting strategies accessible to nurture emotional development within the home.

In addition to her training and qualifications as a pediatric behavioral health professional in the United States, she holds an international certification as Positive Discipline Educator (Positive Discipline Association) and a certification for Montessori in the home from the Prepared Montessorian Institute. She is originally from Mexico City and resides with her family in the North Dallas area of Texas in the United States,

  • A one-on-one consultation with Blanca really helped me to think objectively and revisit my action plan to address his behaviour. As a Montessori educator, I appreciated her child-centred focus and respectful approach. Having the ability to read notes after our session was very useful, particularly when sharing information with my partner.

Blanca Listened to me, she guided me, she was so kind, her advise and words always came from love and never judgement. Blanca was a blessing for me and my family.

  • A single parenting consultation helped me gain insight into the dynamics of my relationship with my daughter. Blanca gave me a different perspective I hadn't considered. Her advice has helped a lot and I'm being more patient with my child.

    Parent of a 3 year old.

  • I recommend Blanca 100%! I trust Blanca's advice and guidance, she's very knowledgeable and experienced and truly tailors strategies to your own child's needs and age. She takes time to listen, checks in, providing background so you can understand what is happening in your child's mind/behavior/development journey in order to better understand them and help them grow in a positive, respectful and loving way. Can't say enough great things about her

  • La asesoría con Blanca ha sido de grandísima ayuda para nosotros. Blanca nos explicó lo que ocurre a nivel cerebral y nos ayudó a entender el porqué de ciertos comportamientos y eso al lado de las estrategias prácticas que nos dio en casa ha sido un antes y un después. Gracias Blanca por tu trabajo. Siempre volveremos a ti.

    Rebecca I. - Mamá de dos niños

  • I gained so much clarity & feedback regarding my parenting struggle. After our consultation Blanca also sent notes from our conversation & sent resources that she recommended, which was so appreciated and helpful! She is very knowledgeable, validates and empathizes with your experience. I would absolutely recommend setting up an appointment with her.

    Parent

  • Blanca helped us validate the strategies using to navigate a shift in our 3 year old’s behavior and gave us practical tweaks to what we were doing to help us with what we were struggling with. What we liked the most is that her recommendations were practical and easy to incorporate to our daily rhythm.

    Parent

  • It was very helpful to focus on one or two areas that we are struggling with right now. The feedback was supportive and reassuring, but also informative as far as next steps.
