Montessori, ABAR Education & Parenting with Cecelia Romero

“I'm not here to "mold" kids, I see myself more as a guide and support to children on their own journey and that's what draws me to Montessori.

Montessori isn't for everyone, and that's great! We need diversity of thought in our world.”

Zoe, John, and Ollie

“The rise of white nationalism is something that is terrifying to me - not only because I am Jewish. Seeing the open embrace off hatred that we’ve seen increase over the last few years is frightening, as a mother and a human being. Ollie is white, so it’s crucial to us to educate him early on his inherent privilege, what that means, and that living in a more equitable world isn’t about diminishing his opportunities, but about creating opportunity for all.” - Zoe Zelek

Disability & Parenthood

"Disability is the right description. People don’t like it because ‘dis’ conjures up negativity, but I don’t mind it. I read something from a disabled adult who didn’t want to be called 'differently abled' because it diminished the struggles they had overcome, I liked that." -Elizabeth Watch
