Montessori
The three-period lesson: name it, recognise it, recall it. Real things, real pictures, and never a “no”.
Why Verbo Family exists
Our founder moved to three countries and learned three languages as an adult: slowly, often alone, always wishing he had started as a child.
Along the way he tried many methods, including Greg Thomson’s Growing Participator Approach. Later he trained as a Montessori educator and opened a Montessori preschool, where for seven years he has worked with, observed and learned from children aged two and a half to six.
When his son was born, he wanted something different for him: to grow up at home in all three languages. But he isn’t a native speaker of all of them, and most apps are made for children alone, with cartoons, points and a screen to stare at.
So he built what his family needed: a parent and a child on the same couch, learning the same words, with real native voices to get them right.
