About The Slow Childhood

The Slow Childhood is a resource for parents who believe childhood should be unhurried, hands-on, and full of wonder. We publish honest homeschool curriculum reviews, screen-free activity ideas, and Montessori-at-home guides to help intentional families thrive.

We started The Slow Childhood because we believe childhood doesn't need to be optimized — it needs to be protected.

In a world of screen time battles, overscheduled calendars, and the pressure to keep up, we chose a different path. We homeschool our kids, fill our days with hands-on learning, and try to slow down enough to let childhood be what it was meant to be.

Our Mission

We're here to help intentional parents — whether you homeschool, supplement at home, or just want more screen-free ideas — find the resources, reviews, and inspiration you need without the overwhelm.

What We Believe

• Children learn best through play — hands-on, messy, real-world play.
• Less screen time, more green time — nature is the best classroom.
• There's no one right way to homeschool — we review lots of curricula because every family is different.
• Intentional doesn't mean perfect — we're figuring it out one day at a time, just like you.

What You'll Find Here

Create: Montessori-at-home resources, DIY materials, printables, and guides to help you set up an environment where your kids thrive.
