Since the first three years of brain development are the most important to lay the foundation for learning, Zahra began inventing her own kit and timeline of Montessori materials for babies. Hence, Monti Kids, a subscription-based learning program for the 0-3 set was born.

The company is based in Orinda and subscribers receive quarterly deliveries of age-based, authentic Montessori toys to use in sync with an online learning program that coaches parents on how to introduce the toys, set up a Montessori-inspired playspace, and cultivate focus and creativity in their children from the very beginning.

This East Bay household is using the Monti Kids toys, along with the included coaching on toy rotation and play space set-up to encourage independence and perseverance in their toddler.

Zahra braved the stage on Shark Tank and earned an investment in her company.  Now thousands of families are subscribed to Monti Kids, receiving short video lessons on the Montessori approach to use along with the toy sets.
