Montessori Makers Alignment Platform

Montessori,
from classroom to boardroom.

MMAP brings Montessori documentation, school operations, staff development, and governance into one platform—built around the responsibilities of the people doing the work.

The Prepared Organization / one connected example

Notice something.
Know where to begin.

One classroom question connects a guide’s record, a family conversation, and a leadership response. Follow the same thread through real MMAP screens, then return to the evidence together.

01 / During the work period

A familiar choice becomes a question.

In this example, a child keeps returning to familiar work. The guide wonders whether to offer a new presentation or leave more time for repetition.

Open Lesson Tracking, find the child’s record, and keep the presentation and its progress together. The record gives the next observation context.

The practical next stepThe record is a starting point. The guide decides what to observe or offer next.

Explore classroom documentation

02 / Preparing for a family conversation

Add the family’s perspective.

The guide brings that same question to a family conversation: what is the child choosing, and where is independence emerging?

Select the child in Progress Reports, choose a format, and review the summary alongside observations and work samples before sharing it.

The practical next stepThe guide and family agree what to notice next. The guide also asks the school leader for time to observe before choosing another presentation.

Look inside progress reports

03 / At the leadership table

Make room for the adult work.

The classroom question now asks something of leadership: how can the guide have time for careful observation? The leader considers that request alongside the school’s other responsibilities.

Review school signals and actions needing attention in the executive dashboard. In this example, the leader and guide agree on protected observation time and a date to talk again. They record the agreement and review date in their existing school follow-up notes; this is a manual step outside the dashboard.

The practical next stepAt their next conversation, the adults return to the lesson record and observations. They check whether the planned observation happened and decide what support comes next. The next step follows what the adults actually observe.

01For school leadersFollow through on a school signal.

Step 1 / 3

Read the context

Return to the classroom question in the story above. Review the executive dashboard alongside what the guide has shared; a signal starts a conversation, not a conclusion.

Return to the classroom question in the story above. Review the executive dashboard alongside what the guide has shared; a signal starts a conversation, not a conclusion.

Choose an adult action

In this illustrative example, the leader and guide agree on protected observation time and when to meet again. They record the action and review date in their existing school follow-up notes, outside this dashboard.

Return to the evidence

At the next conversation, review the lesson record and new observations together. Check whether the agreed action happened, then decide whether to continue or adjust the support.

02For guidesRecord a presentation.

Step 1 / 3

Find the work

The Lesson Planner places children beside the curriculum areas. Start with the child and presentation you want to record, or use Quick Log.

The Lesson Planner places children beside the curriculum areas. Start with the child and presentation you want to record, or use Quick Log.

Keep the context

Record the lesson and its progress. A record of what happened gives your next observation a place to begin.

Plan the return

Use the planner, Progress Grid, and Weekly Plan to review coverage and decide what to revisit. The guide makes the instructional decision.

From a school using MMAP

“There really has never been anything, in my 25 years of teaching and working in schools, that can do so much to support teachers and strengthen classroom learning.”

Review the story

Choose a report format and review the summary. Bring work samples and your own observations to the conversation; the report supports your judgment.

Make it a conversation

Use the reviewed report for a family conference or reporting period. Discuss what the child is choosing, where independence is growing, and what you will observe next.

From a school using MMAP

“It is robust and powerful and is going to be such a game changer for record keeping.”

Keep the path visible

Move a family’s record as their journey progresses. Board and table views offer two ways to see the same admissions work.

Carry it forward

Enrollment stages continue through agreements and forms. Review the family’s status before deciding which communication or administrative step comes next.

From a school using MMAP

“I send an email on MMAP and then send an SMS telling parents to check their emails, and because they look at their texts, the emails get read.”

An MMAP schoolThree weeks into the year

Why it works this way

A prepared environment for the adults, too.

Begin with observation.

Dated records keep the child’s context close. The guide interprets the evidence and chooses the next invitation to work.

Make room for individual paths.

Children share a classroom while moving through work at different paces. Individual lesson records preserve that distinction.

Make the next step clear.

Visible responsibilities, shared follow-ups and retrievable records help the adults coordinate their work and act independently.

The experience behind MMAP

Designed from a Tuesday.

Founder-led. Built without venture capital.

Hannah Richardson brings her experience as a Montessori guide, coach, and school leader to MMAP, working directly with schools on the responsibilities they carry every day.

Answering a question about immunization records. Preparing for a board meeting. Noticing that your strongest guide has gone quiet. Helping a family understand who their child is becoming.

And protecting the time for a beautiful lesson with a child who has been waiting for it. Those responsibilities meet in the same school day. MMAP was built with that whole day in mind.
