Welcome Readers,

My name is Debbie Doss and I am the director and lead teacher at American River Montessori. I have been teaching children and supporting parents for over 13 years. At my Montessori school children and teachers are encouraged to learn and explore ideas.

When I first began my teaching adventure I had no idea I would be supporting parents who had a lot of questions about parenting. Being a learner myself I researched parents’ questions. I discovered a number of individuals with little or no child development training providing child development advice. I was motivated to become an expert.

After 13 years of researching child development and teaching children, I am now ready to share my knowledge and provide emotional and practical support for parents outside of my school community.

My mission is to share the knowledge and tools with parents for their child’s developmental success. This blog is my first step in achieving my mission. I eventually plan to provide insightful coaching that empowers parents to achieve the outcomes they want for their child’s life.

I look forward to sharing my knowledge with you.
