Hey, I'm just a dad.

I discovered Montessori when my kid was born and it rewired how I think about parenting. Not the fancy schools or the Instagram-perfect playrooms — the actual philosophy. Respecting your child as a whole person. Following their lead. Building an environment where they can do things on their own.

I started TillerDad because I couldn't find this space for fathers. Most Montessori content is written by and for moms. Nothing wrong with that — but dads bring something different to the table, and we deserve our own corner to learn, share, and figure this out together.

Every day, I find the best writing on Montessori parenting and share it with my own take — as a father who's learning in real time, just like you.

New to Telegram?

If you haven't used Telegram before, here's the short version: it's a messaging app, like WhatsApp. But it also has channels — think newsletters, except better. You subscribe, posts show up, you read when you want. Nobody sees your phone number. No algorithm deciding what you see. No ads.

Takes about two minutes:

  1. Download Telegram — iPhone or Android
  2. Create an account with your phone number
  3. Open t.me/TillerDad and tap Join

About Telegram's reputation

Telegram is big and open, which means all kinds of people use it — including ones you wouldn't invite to dinner. But that's exactly why channels like this one matter. The more parents, teachers, and everyday people who show up, the better the platform gets. You're not joining some shady corner of the internet. You're joining a dad who shares Montessori tips.

Free. No spam. No selling. Just good Montessori content for dads, every day.
