Empowering Montessori Educators

Through Collaborative Consultation

Welcome to the Montessori Minds Community!

Montessori Minds Consulting was founded by Jess Davis, who is a Montessori alum, parent, educator, school leader, and international Montessori school consultant. She is passionate about Montessori pedagogy as not only a system of education, but as a movement for social change. Learn more about Jess and her Montessori journey. 

As Montessori Minds grew, Jess began to work with a variety of consultants with vital specialties and a collaboration grew. Now, Montessori Minds is a space that offers schools and educators access to a variety of Montessori resources, content, and consultants ranging from school strategic planning to curriculum development to classroom management and everything in between. Montessori Minds works to create the partnership or team schools need to thrive and meet their goals. Learn more about the Montessori Minds team here.

Engaged, empowered, resourced Montessori teachers have an incredible positive impact on the lives of children. Through Montessori Minds Consulting, Jess and the Montessori Minds team bring high-quality, customized Montessori professional development, Montessori leadership training, Montessori curriculum development, and Montessori teacher coaching to you, in-person or virtually. And the Montessori Minds community continues to grow! Jess shares resources, curates trainings and information from across the country and around the world, and connects Montessori educators through  the Montessori Minds blog, Facebook, and Instagram. The Montessori podcast, Roots and Wings, launches January 2025 on Spotify! As Dr. Montessori wrote, “The greatest gifts we can give children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.” Jess is dedicated to doing the same for the Montessorians who serve children every day with dedication and care.

"The days Jess was with us were beyond anything I could have hoped for. She worked so hard but in such a peaceful way that she succeeded in making it easy to grasp, even though I now fully realise it will take years to reach a truly Montessori mind! When she left, it seemed impossible that we’d known each others for only 5 days. Her pupils are lucky children indeed! A privilege and gift it is for Littlecob and all those who attended her workshop, and what a fascinating encounter for me personally (encounter both with Jess and with Maria Montessori!)"

"Jess has been supporting me as a teacher for nearly a decade. Her mind holds a wealth of ideas and solutions that are not only creative, but grounded in years of experience and influenced by the most modern research on education. The time I spend with Jess is some of the most valuable professional development I have. She can quickly offer me a range of suggestions for topics from behavior management to lesson ideas to personnel support, encouraging me to build on my strengths and develop my areas of challenge."

" Jess Davis is a fantastic resource for any Montessori teacher. She can be a benefit to everyone, from the struggling guide working hard to just get by, to teachers with loads of experience and past success. Her ability to simplify what seem like monumental problems into concrete, doable steps, and to carefully, logically, and systematically help organize what can seem overwhelming, is beyond helpful. She works tirelessly and her enthusiastic and pragmatic approach is inspirational. Her support is not just wise words. You will be inspired to take action and put her counsel to work."

"Jess has coached our teaching team many times over the years with solving classroom issues that have come up. Most recently, we had her come in and observe our room to see what we could do to help with classroom management. Jess has such a wide understanding of how a classroom should be run and was able to give us concrete examples of what we could be doing differently. Every question we had for her, she had a thorough answer for it that was extremely relatable and helpful. We all left amazed at her level of understanding."

"Jess's presentation to our public school staff transitioning to Montessori was informative and inspirational. Everyone left with a better understanding of the Montessori philosophy and were excited to continue learning more! "

"Jess is a fantastic asset to the Montessori method of teaching. The teachers in the classroom are relieved by her abundance of information regarding classroom procedures. With her immense expertise and knowledge, she offers answers to problems with behavior and academic performance. She always stands ready to jump in and contribute her wide expertise to help instructors reach their full potential in the classroom. She has a fresh viewpoint on classroom leadership. Getting to know Jess has been a blessing."
