Montessori isn’t reserved for a select few. With the right support, families, educators, and schools can create meaningful learning experiences that meet children where they are.
Meet Candace Jackson
A passion that started with one interview.
My journey into Montessori education began by accident when I went on a job interview and was introduced to a teaching philosophy I had never heard of before. I immediately fell in love with the thoughtfully prepared environments designed entirely around children and the way they learned through play, exploration, and real-world experiences. Over the past 20 years, my passion for Montessori has grown into a deep commitment to helping children reach their fullest potential.
Along the way, I recognized a need for more families, educators, and communities to experience the benefits of this quality of education, regardless of their financial circumstances. That realization inspired me to create Montessori Consulting Solutions, where I work to make Montessori more accessible through consulting, speaking, professional development, and child-centered environmental design.
What drives me is the belief that every child deserves an environment that honors who they are, nurtures their independence, and inspires a lifelong love of learning.

A note from Candace
Quality Education Should Be Available For Everyone
I believe Montessori doesn't have to be expensive or exclusive. I help families and schools discover ways to incorporate Montessori principles into their everyday lives, regardless of their resources or prior experience.
My work bridges the gap between home and school. You help parents, teachers, and school leaders understand children's needs and create more consistent, supportive experiences for them.
My experience leading classrooms, mentoring educators, and training interns allow me to support not only individual teachers but also entire teams. I understand the importance of staff collaboration, classroom management, and creating environments where both children and educators can thrive and how these components all work together.
