Why teachers make the switch

Montessori Workspace was built by Montessori teachers who wanted record keeping to take minutes, not evenings.

Record in the moment

Capture a presentation, a quote, or a social observation from a tablet or phone while it's fresh, instead of reconstructing the day after school.

Plans that write themselves

See what each child has been presented, what they're practicing, and what comes next, then build individual and group plans from it.

Conference season without the dread

Progress reports come straight from the records you already keep. No weekend spent copying notes into a template.

Costs less than a box of binders

$20 a month covers your first 10 students and $1 covers each one after, with unlimited staff accounts and no setup fee.

Built by Montessori teachers, for Montessori teachers.

"My classroom has been using Montessori Workspace since 2020, and it has helped make observations tracking and data collecting easier than using spreadsheets and checklists."

Ann, Eagles' Wings Montessori

"Using Montessori Workspace has gotten easier each year as you continue to update, and we continue to come up with strategies that work in our classroom."

Megan, School in the Woods Montessori

"When I had the 3-6 group I used Workspace all day, every day, and I really appreciate the format. It's a very helpful tool in record keeping and reporting."

Carol, Northview Montessori
