Montessori and Mimosas
2026-04-11 11:30 - 13:00 | Waterfront Montesoori, 150 Warren St., Suite 108, Jersey City, NJ, United States
Montessori and Mimosas
These early months and years of parenting are extraordinary, beautiful, and often intense. An outcome of my many years working with families of young children is my passion for supporting new moms during this season of life.
On Saturday, April 11th, I will host the first of what I hope will become a monthly gathering called Montessori & Mimosas, a small circle for moms with children under two. The intention is simple: to create a calm, welcoming space where women can pause, connect, and reflect together in friendship, laughter, and truth-telling.
This first session is titled “I Am Who I Am, and That Is Enough.” We will spend a gentle hour sharing conversation, reflection, and a few simple practices. There will be fresh juice, light refreshments, and (of course) optional mimosas.
This is not a school presentation or admissions event. It is simply a space for community.
To keep the atmosphere intimate, I am limiting the group to 12 mothers to start.
If this sounds like something that would nourish you in this stage of life, I would love to welcome you.
