Welcome to The Organized Prepared Environment, also known as TOPE!

Create spaces for your children to thrive in.

TOPE is here to support your family in decluttering their homes. While creating developmentally appropriate spaces that are safe and encourage creativity through exploration.

Implement the Montessori Method

TOPE implements the core principles of the Montessori Method into the way your home is organized. We will create an independent environment where your child can take ownership while you have peace of mind.

  • "My husband and I wanted an at-home Montessori approach for our 12 – month. Jean Marie leveled up our skills, along with our nanny’s, and gave guidance, enabling us to create a wonderful Montessori environment. Our son has thrived."

  • "Jean Marie is great because she actually cares about her kids and goes the extra mile. The development that I saw from my child in a reasonably short tenure was a testament to the environment that Jean Marie curated."

    -A.H. Santa Barbara Parent

  • "I have known Jean Marie for many years! Jean is an amazing teacher, friend and peer to her children. She is genuine and elaborate to the kids making sure they understand the why of the situations. Her Montessori Methods were apparent to our home setup. We loved having her develop a unique space for our family. We continue to learn from her. We are fortunate to have had her as a guide through our process creating our home."
