Parenthood is an incredible blessing, but it certainly comes with its own unique issues and challenges. Sometimes the simplest bit of practical advice can make an instant difference. Bringing a confident calm in your relationship between yourself and your child.

Through Held & Heard Georgina’s aim is to empower you to enjoy your children to the fullest.


My Montessori Child

Paint Pots Montessori Schools offer parents ‘My Montessori Child’ This application has been designed to allow parents a unique insight into their child’s day, along with photo observations and work portfolio. This is updated regularly and has proven to be an excellent link between home and school.

It also provides the teachers with an excellent system to monitor each child’s progress. Reducing the amount of time spent on record keeping and freeing our teachers up to spend more time in the classroom.
