Strong classrooms. Systems ready to grow.

A written organizational review against the five components of the Prepared Organization, with a prioritized action list and a sequenced plan. The step for a leader who knows something is strained but does not yet need, or cannot yet fund, a full engagement. The fee is credited toward any Advisory engagement begun within 90 days.

Best for: Leaders who can name three symptoms and want to know what is actually causing them.

A structured diagnostic of roles, adult culture, communication, and school systems. Examine what is working, where practice has drifted from the mission, and how the school prepares and supports its adults. Use the findings to decide what comes next.

Best for: Schools facing growth, transition, culture friction, or strategic drift.

A structured diagnostic of equity across hiring, adult culture, curriculum, and governance. Examine how anti-bias, anti-racist commitments appear in everyday decisions and systems. Facilitated by Hannah Richardson and delivered as a findings document with prioritized recommendations.

Best for: Schools ready to audit whether their systems match their stated equity commitments.

Focused engagements built around a specific piece of infrastructure: compensation, enrollment, hiring, role design, decision rights, documentation, or meeting routines. Scope can also include the systems needed for program expansion or a new campus. Agree the work, deliverables, and timeline before beginning.

Best for: Schools that need a specific piece of infrastructure built and are ready to make decisions.

Communication designed instead of inherited, internal cadence, role clarity, leadership messaging, and a crisis communication plan written before you need it: who speaks, in what order, and what the school will and will not say. General copy and brand messaging live with MMG Studio.

Best for: Schools whose internal patterns keep producing conflict, or who know they have no plan for the hard day.

State childcare licensing, accreditation prep, and the documentation layer reviewers actually check. Starts with a $1,950 Readiness Audit: a written gap report against the standard you are pursuing, with a sequenced timeline.

Best for: Schools opening, expanding, pursuing accreditation, or facing a licensing question they need answered correctly.

Ongoing support for leaders navigating real decisions, real teams, and real pressure. Grounded in Montessori philosophy and organizational reality.

Best for: Heads of school, directors, and emerging leaders carrying significant responsibility.

A retained advisory partnership embedded in your leadership work. Connect strategic planning for the next 3 to 5 years with board development, adult culture, hiring, and implementation. An ongoing thought partner as decisions become daily practice.

Best for: Schools ready for sustained, deep organizational change.

Experienced head-of-school leadership on a part-time schedule, for one school or shared between two small ones. Operational leadership, staff supervision, board partnership, and family communication, sized to what your enrollment actually supports. Scope, days, and term are set per school.

Best for: Small schools that cannot fund a full-time head, founders still doing every job, and schools building toward a full-time role.

Montessori-specific governance formation: role clarity, the relationship between the board and head of school, retreat facilitation, and the reporting cadence that keeps a board substantive. From a self-guided toolkit to a facilitated retreat to year-round advisory.

Best for: Boards of parents who care deeply and were never trained to govern, and heads carrying weight the board should share.

Keynotes, workshops, and facilitation for schools that need to move a room, or start a larger conversation. Sessions are shaped around the work your community needs to do.

Best for: Schools seeking professional development, conference programming, or a first engagement.

The full arc of founding a Montessori school: feasibility and model, budget, facility and licensing, enrollment, the first hires, and the prepared environment itself. Available as a guided founder engagement or worked through on your own with the linked toolkits.

Best for: Founders at any point between the idea and opening day.

Support before, during, and after leadership change. The structural and cultural work that determines whether a transition holds.

Best for: Schools in active succession, or planning ahead for leadership change.

For founders and owners preparing to sell, transfer, or step away from a school they own. Readiness work, alignment vetting of prospective successors, mission-protection provisions drafted with your attorney, the staff and family communication plan, and support for the founder through it. We are not brokers and are not paid on the transaction.

Best for: Founders and owners whose exit is coming, whether that is next quarter or in five years.

Structured support for genuine crisis, sudden leadership departure, staff incidents, enrollment shock, board breakdown, community trust rupture. A written stabilization plan in the first week, hands-on support through resolution. $4,500 flat for the first two weeks.

Best for: Schools in the middle of it right now. The first call costs nothing.
