A learning guide that remembers your child

Know what to do next for your child.

Tell Dakota what today looks like. It uses what your child has shown, what you have around, and a structured Montessori path to choose the next useful thing.

A preschool-aged child placing a fork beside a plate while helping set the family table — **Parent**
We’re home 20 minutes before dinner. Maya wants to help.

**Dakota**
Have her set four places, one fork per plate, then pour water from a small jug.

**Parent**
Matched all four. Counted twice. Pouring held her attention.

**Dakota**
That tells me one-to-one matching is coming along. I’ll keep quantities small and build the next suggestion from pouring.

Because Dakota saw this
the next suggestion changes.

How Dakota works

Your child doesn’t start from scratch every day. The guidance shouldn’t either.

Dakota turns one ordinary exchange into the context for a better next decision—without asking you to plan a curriculum or keep a learning log.

01
Share what today looks like.

Twenty minutes before dinner. A grocery run. A child who wants to help. Start with real life, not a lesson plan.
02
Get one useful next step.

Dakota combines your constraints with what your child has already shown and a structured Montessori path.
03
Tell Dakota what happened.

Only confirmed activity becomes evidence. What worked—and what didn’t—changes the guidance that follows.

Less searching.More knowing.

The job Dakota takes on

“I want to be intentional. I don’t want to become the curriculum designer, activity researcher, or family scorekeeper.”

Hand off the educational judgment—not the relationship.

You already know your child. Dakota keeps the learning picture, chooses a fitting next step, and explains just enough for you to use it in the moment.

No idea backlog to manage. Ask when you need something.
No performance score. Confirmed observations guide the next choice.
No separate school day at home. Use the materials and moments already around you.

One real moment

The important part isn’t the activity. It’s what Dakota remembers afterward.

Generic activity lists stop at the suggestion. Dakota asks what happened, keeps the confirmed learning evidence, and starts the next recommendation from there.

Confirmed, not assumed. Dakota records only what a caregiver confirms.

What happened

“Matched all four. Counted twice. Pouring held her attention.”

What Dakota keeps

Maya matched one fork to each plate and stayed engaged while pouring.

What changes next

Keep quantities small. Build from pouring. Don’t repeat the same generic activity list.

Built for mixed-care families

One learning picture, whoever was there.

Parents, grandparents, nannies, and other caregivers can each tell Dakota what they saw in their own private conversation. Confirmed family learning facts come together; the conversations themselves stay separate.

Home Preschool Care network

Montessori underneath. Simple on top.

A structured learning path you don’t have to operate.

Dakota uses Montessori progression to choose what fits, while everyday use stays conversational. The structure remains in the background until seeing it would actually help.

The weekly proof

See the picture becoming clearer.

A Weekly Family Report brings together confirmed moments, what Dakota can reasonably infer, and where the next suggestions are headed. It is evidence that the guidance is learning your child—not a report card or a readiness score.

The offer

A learning guide for the year—not another folder of ideas.

Start with a short family profile. Dakota builds a provisional starting snapshot, then gets more useful as your family confirms what actually happened.

30-day money-back guarantee. Use Dakota in real family life and decide after you have evidence.

Annual membership

CAD $149 / year

One family profile, caregiver contributions, personalized guidance, and Weekly Family Reports.

Prefer to start smaller? A CAD $5 weekly option is available before checkout.

Worth knowing

Clear answers before you start.

Is Dakota another child-facing learning app?

No. Dakota is for the adults. Your child learns through real activities, conversation, movement, and the materials already around them.

Will Dakota tell me whether my child is “on track”?

No. Dakota is not a diagnostic or a validated developmental assessment. It uses confirmed observations to make practical Montessori-aligned guidance more relevant.

Do I have to prepare lessons or buy special materials?

No. Tell Dakota what time and materials you have. It is designed to work inside ordinary family life, not create another school day at home.

What if several adults care for my child?

Each caregiver can contribute from a separate conversation. Useful confirmed learning facts can support one shared family picture while private conversations stay separate.

Start with the child you already know

You don’t need more activity ideas. You need the next one to fit.

Step 1 of 10Children

A simple starting point

Who should Dakota get to know?

Add each child who will use Dakota. A first name or nickname and age are enough for now.

Age gives Dakota conservative context for a provisional starting point; it never proves readiness. Unfinished setup details are removed after up to 24 hours.

Step 2 of 10Starting Snapshot

A provisional starting point

What should Dakota consider first?

Choose one preference for each child’s Starting Snapshot. It guides early suggestions without labelling your child or removing any domain.

We’re home for about 20 minutes before dinner. Any ideas for Maya?

Based on Maya’s Starting Snapshot, Math is useful to begin with. Before dinner, you could count one place setting per person, sort utensils by type, or make a simple repeating napkin pattern. If you’re not setting the table, tell me what dinner looks like and I’ll adapt.

We’re getting pizza.

Perfect. When it arrives, ask Maya to touch each slice once as she counts. Then ask, “How many slices are there altogether?”

That works.

Great. I’ll check back once after dinner.

About 25 minutes later

How did the pizza counting go—did Maya try it, or did plans change?

Example photo from behind of a child looking closely at pizza slices

She said eight but skipped one.

Great photo—thanks for sending it. What happened when you asked her to check?

She went back, touched each slice once, and counted all eight in English. About six minutes.

Saved: Maya touched each pizza slice once and counted all eight in English for about 6 focused minutes. She skipped one at first, then recounted accurately with a prompt.

Step 5 of 10Care network

One family, private conversations

Who is part of your children’s week?

Choose all that apply. You decide whom to invite after payment.

EXAMPLEWhen two adult caregivers are invited

Adult caregivers can text Dakota separately. Here is how two private updates can become one shared, confirmed Family record.

Dad texts privately“We counted the slices.”

Nana texts privately“She counted again today.”

One shared Family recordConfirmed facts come together; ordinary chats do not.

Step 6 of 10Montessori fit

No expertise required

How familiar are you with Montessori?

This changes how Dakota explains suggestions—not the quality or boundaries of the curriculum.

I’m new to it—keep it plain and practical I know the basics We use Montessori ideas at home My child attends a Montessori program

The curriculum stays in the background

MathCounting & QuantityOne-to-one counting

Dakota chooses a useful next step, explains it in your preferred style, and updates its working view only from attributed evidence.
