Book Fairs
Our Book Fairs are uniquely catered to children under the age of 10 years-old. Among other early childhood programs, Barefoot Books are a favorite among Montessori schools and language immersion programs. They are an easy “favorite” because of the sustainable manufacturing practices and materials, celebration of art and story telling, books in multiple languages, books that foster exploration and learning by introducing science and geography in an engaging way, and books that foster a respect for others through social emotional and many cultural titles.

These resources were created with the thought of specific needs of students I was serving at the time. I used my knowledge as a certified Montessori Guide, current research, and nearly 15 years of experience to create tools to help my learners develop strong skills while having fun. Now that I am out of the classroom, I serve in a role that allows me to coach and support other Montessori Guides. My resources have been helpful to them, and I hope they are helpful to you as well.

Meet Kathryn
Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the internet! My life’s work is all about the optimal development of children, fully embracing the Frederick Douglass quote, “It is easier to build strong children than fix broken men.” I’ve been working with the youngest among us for over 20 years as a Montessori Educator (Toddler & Early Childhood levels), Children’s Ministry Director, Social Worker, Barefoot Books Ambassador, and volunteer with various organizations. My greatest joys center around doing things with the people I love- eating, laughing, traveling, and trying new things. I’m blessed to have someone always rooting for me, my husband. With God as my guide and the source of my strength, I strive to “be the change I want to see.”
