Kimberly did not set out to write a parenting book. She set out to solve a problem she kept seeing in classrooms and at kitchen tables: parents who cared deeply and had no real tools.
Kimberly was a young mother when a teacher pulled her aside and asked where she had studied Montessori. She had never heard the word. That afternoon in the library became thirty years of schools, teacher training, international consulting, and eventually a book.
What she discovered in those books was not new information. It was a name for everything she had been doing by instinct with her own children. That recognition changed the course of her life.
A professional credential backed by decades of classroom experience, not just coursework.
Faith is woven into Kimberly’s work the way it is woven into her life, quietly and consistently.
It is present in the values behind the tiger philosophy, in the spiritual domain of the tiger tracker, and in the way she talks about the purpose of raising children.
It is never used as a barrier. It is always offered as an anchor.
Kimberly Morey has over thirty years of experience in Montessori education as an educator, school founder, teacher trainer, international consultant, and public speaker. She founded Heritage Montessori School and serves as its chairman. She also founded and serves as executive director of ACE Education International, through which she has developed Montessori educational partnerships internationally, including programs in India. She holds an American Montessori Society credential and has presented at international education conferences. She is also a mother of four boys, which she considers the most important qualification for everything she teaches.
Kimberly discovered Montessori through her son Ben, who was one of the most intense and challenging children she had ever encountered as a young mother.
She was doing her best intuitively when his teacher, Mrs. Roth, pulled her aside one day and asked where she had studied Montessori. Kimberly had never heard the word.
Mrs. Roth told her to look it up. That afternoon at the library, Kimberly read about Maria Montessori for the first time and recognized everything she had been doing by instinct described in formal, research-backed terms. That moment sent her on a thirty-year path through Montessori education that eventually led to schools, teacher training, international consulting, and From Chaos to Calm.
Heritage Montessori School is the school Kimberly Morey founded.
It is the institutional proof of concept for the principles she teaches in From Chaos to Calm and in her parent workshops.
The school operates according to the Montessori method and reflects thirty years of Kimberly’s educational philosophy in practice. It is not just a school she is affiliated with or advises. It is the school she built.
For families in the Heritage Montessori community, the connection between the school’s approach and the book’s framework is direct and intentional. What children experience in the classroom is an extension of what Kimberly teaches parents to build at home.
ACE Education International is the organization Kimberly founded to extend her Montessori work beyond Heritage Montessori School to a global audience.
Through ACE, Kimberly has developed teacher training programs, educational consulting services, international Montessori partnerships, and leadership development for school administrators and educators.
Her work in India involved building Montessori educational partnerships that brought her framework and philosophy to classrooms in a very different cultural and educational context.
That international experience has deepened her understanding of what is universal in child development and what is culturally specific, and it shows in how broadly applicable the tools in From Chaos to Calm are.

Kimberly’s professional affiliations include the American Montessori Society, the Pan American Montessori Society, the International Montessori Council, and Montessori Educational Programs International.
These affiliations reflect decades of active participation in the Montessori professional community, not just membership.
She has presented at conferences, participated in teacher training programs, and contributed to the broader conversation about Montessori education at a national and international level.
Her credentials and affiliations are part of what distinguishes From Chaos to Calm from the many parenting books that draw on Montessori principles secondhand.
Yes. Through ACE Education International, Kimberly has developed educational partnerships and consulting projects in multiple countries, with a particular focus on India.
Her international work has included teacher training, school consulting, curriculum development, and leadership coaching for school administrators.
Working internationally has given Kimberly a perspective on child development that goes well beyond any single cultural or educational context.
She has seen these principles applied in dramatically different settings and has refined her understanding of which elements of the Montessori framework are universal and which need to flex to meet the specific needs of a community.
Faith is a genuine part of who Kimberly is and is woven into her work in a way that is present but never exclusive.
The spiritual domain is one of the five areas in the tiger tracker, reflecting Kimberly’s belief that a whole child includes a child with a sense of identity, conscience, and purpose.
Her faith informs the values behind the tiger philosophy and the way she talks about the purpose of raising children.
At the same time, From Chaos to Calm and Kimberly’s workshops are designed to be accessible and useful to parents of any faith background or no religious background at all.
