Saturday afternoon, during the first quarantine. Chatting with my wife with a couple of cups of hot coffee in the hands.

Being the father of two children whom I extremely love and being constantly in search of that innocent romance that is so lacking in our souls today, the sparkle in the wife's eyes did not took too long to pique my interest.

That's how I started studying Maria Montessori's philosophy.

I admit I was wary at first. I found what I was reading a bit too much.

It was just needed to create our first toy, a balance board, to realize how wrong I was! I was amazed at how much the children's imaginations were fired, how many uses they found with it and without any instructions from us at all!

After all, isn't that the purpose? To nurture independent characters, personalities who step on their feet and when they are ready to spread their wings and fly high! Too high!

But there was still something left. A conversation with my personal mentor and superhero, the man who is always there to listen, advise and support me in every possible and improbable way regardless of his own cost and effort. My father.

It didn't take us more than ten minutes. Phrases such as "the children's smile", "they learn through play", "a better tomorrow" had already captivated us both. It is also that romance we were talking about...

As a result of this, one and only ultimate goal: To enter as many homes as possible, to let as many parents know the Montessori philosophy and its benefits. Therefore we never thought about profit. Our guide is the lowest possible prices so that all this is possible! To make everything affordable for all of us, especially in these difficult times we are going through.

We must prepare our children properly. We are to nurture independent adults ready to fly away. We owe a better tomorrow to all of us, primarily to ourselves. We also owe it to our planet.

So what do you say? Shall we begin?
