Parenting Workshop for Early Childhood

Join us for an opportunity to sit with Mrs. Elena Heil, a deeply experienced parent and educator, as she shares the wisdom she's gathered over a lifetime of raising children, supporting families, and founding one of the Bay Area’s most beloved and renowned Montessori schools.

This series is a heartfelt invitation to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with the natural rhythms of parenting. It is not about perfect techniques or quick fixes—it is about presence, intuition, and creating a home where children and adults can grow together in harmony.

What to Expect:

Each session will be part conversation, part reflection, part practical wisdom-sharing. There will be time for stories, questions, and real talk about the joys and challenges of raising children today.

Topics will include:

• Creating rhythm, routine, and peace in the home
• Boundaries and discipline rooted in love and respect
• Honoring childhood and resisting modern pressures
• Supporting independence without rushing maturity
• Finding your voice and confidence as a parent

Whether you're preparing for your first child or parenting your teens, this series offers timeless insight and grounding guidance.

Who is this for?

Parents, grandparents, caregivers, educators—anyone seeking a more grounded, joyful, and connected approach to raising children.
