What if creativity wasn’t something extra to fit in, but a way of living and learning every day?
In this episode, Pam Vale talks with Montessori educator Jessica Brown, founder of Clementine Montessori, about how creativity shows up in parenting, education, and community.
Jessica shares her journey from traditional teaching to Montessori, the power of creating environments where children can explore at their own pace, and why the process of creativity matters more than the product.
Together, they explore how freedom within structure helps children thrive, and how adults can reconnect with creativity and play in their own lives.
Key Takeaways:
* Creativity is a fundamental aspect of life, not just art.
* Community support enhances creative expression and learning.
* Creative play is essential for both children and adults.
