Tired of the clutter? Want your child to play more?

This course is for you!

Did you know that toys are learning tools? What your child plays with and how they play aids their overall development. Play is an essential part of childhood.  


Young children go through many changes in a short time. As they grow, their needs, abilities, and interest grow too. You can learn to nurture this growth through your child's play area. Through play, children have the chance to strengthen their understanding of themselves and the world outside of them. 


This course helps parents understand and apply how to set-up a Play & Learn space that will hold endless learning opportunities. A simplified space that invites your child to create, discover and grow. 


Many parents think the more toys their child owns, the better off they are. As a Montessori teacher and advocate for play, I am here to tell you that it's all about quality rather than quantity. A simplistic play space prepared with purpose serves as a learning environment. Here you will use a five-step framework to complete a Play & Learn space your child will love.

Hi! I am Rhina your course instructor. Through my ten plus years of experience working with children as a Montessori teacher, I have learned a lot about kids and parents. Children want to be supported to develop themselves and thrive with a foundation. Parents like you want to do all the right things, but sometimes need some sort of direction along the way. As a parent, I get you. I want the world for my child but know that parenting doesn't come ease. I believe parenting requires lots of personal growth and a little understanding about the many stages your child will reach. It's a lot I know. Luckily you don't have to have all the answers. You are here and this is a great place to explore and learn from. I hope you enjoy this course I have put together with all my love and effort. It's been many years in the making and now it's all here for you. The best part is that you can to take it all in at your pace. My goal here is to share my knowledge as an educator family consultant and parent, with you on how to support your child's growing needs at home. Thank you for your support and enjoy! :) Best, Rhina E. Founder of A Little Room 2 Grow Author of Create A Home With Your Child In Mind
