The greatest gift an adult can give to a child is their own spiritual preparedness.

A Warm Welcome to Torre di Montessori

Torre di Montessori is a hub for teachers, parents, and anyone committed to serving the development and well being of our children, and in turn, humanity. Through both online courses and personalized coaching, Cristina offers an array of services, such as yoga, ayurveda, mindfulness and meditation, to guide adults through their own unique journey of spiritual preparation so that they can best serve the children in their lives.

Torre di Montessori also encompasses Montessori consultations through the insights of Cristina Torre stemming from her experiences and AMI-trainings . Whether looking to start a new Montessori environment within your school, co-op, homeschooling community, camp, or home, or you have a desire to improve your current Montessori environment to reach its full potential, Cristina will guide you every step of the way to create the ideal prepared environment and most well-prepared adults.

Adult Preparedness Coaching

Cristina offers 1-1 or small group coaching to help adults who work with children be their most grounded versions of themselves so they can fully be with and serve the development and well being of the whole child and ride the waves of our daily experiences.

Montessori Consulting

Through in-person or virtual consulting, Cristina can help to create or improve Montessori spaces in schools, co-ops, camps, at home, and in homeschooling communities.

“Of all things love is most potent.”

-Maria Montessori

Practices for Preparedness

Through our online portal, Torre di Montessori offers live classes, a video library, and online courses. These tools are designed to be accessible and affordable, with intentions rooted in the care of the whole child, humanity and all sentient beings.

Yoga

Ayurveda

Mindfulness


This is education, understood as a help to life; an education from birth, which feeds a peaceful revolution and unites all in a common aim, attracting them as to a single centre. Mothers, fathers, politicians: all must combine in their respect and help for this delicate work of formation, which the little child carries on in the depth of a profound psychological mystery, under the tutelage of an inner guide. This is the bright new hope for mankind.
— Dr. Maria Montessori, The Absorbent Mind, p. 15

Meet Cristina

I’m a dedicated Montessori practitioner with over 25 years of experience working with children, families, and educators to create nurturing environments that support the development of the whole child. As the founder of Torre di Montessori, I specialize in guiding adults through reflective practices and spiritual preparation, believing that true transformation begins within.

A native New Yorker with a BA in Philosophy from Boston University, I hold AMI certifications from birth to 18 years, along with training in Inclusive Education, mindfulness, Ayurveda, and yoga. My work extends into teacher training, coaching, and consulting, always guided by Dr. Montessori’s wisdom: “The real preparation for education is the study of one’s self.”
