Creating Beautiful Childhoods
Childhood is not a race to the next milestone.
It is a season to be cherished.
Hello.
I'm Tammy.
For over three decades, I've had the privilege of helping children become confident, curious, compassionate, and independent through authentic Montessori education.
After building schools, mentoring teachers, creating educational products, and partnering with hundreds of families, I've returned to what I love most…
Working closely with one child and one family at a time.
Every Child Deserves…
To be respected.
To explore.
To create.
To wonder.
To belong.
What I offer

Private Montessori Education
A deeply personal, one-on-one educational experience rooted in authentic Montessori principles — tailored entirely to your child's pace, interests, and developmental stage.
Prepared Home Environments
Transforming your home into a beautiful, functional space where your child can thrive — spaces that invite independence, creativity, and calm.
Parent Coaching
Guidance, reassurance, and practical wisdom for the parents walking this path — because the most important educators in a child's life are you.
Early Childhood Consulting
Thoughtful consultation for families navigating early childhood decisions — from curriculum to environment to developmental milestones.
Nature-Based Learning
Bringing the classroom outdoors — where wonder lives naturally and children learn through seasons, soil, and sky.

A labor of love
Global Bambini
Global Bambini was created from a lifelong love of children, education, and the natural world.
Founder Tammy Kennedy is a Montessori educator who has spent her career helping children learn through curiosity, discovery, and meaningful experiences. Throughout her years working with children and families, she saw how deeply young learners are drawn to animals and nature.
Children instinctively notice the birds outside their window, the squirrels in the trees, and the tiny creatures living beneath leaves and stones. These moments of wonder are often the beginning of a lifelong connection to the natural world.
Global Bambini was created to nurture that curiosity.
Through thoughtfully designed books, puzzles, clothing, and cuddly bedtime companions, children are introduced to the animals that share our forests, fields, and skies. Each product encourages children to learn through story, play, and everyday experiences.
Inspired by the educational philosophy of Maria Montessori, Global Bambini invites children to observe, explore, and develop a deeper appreciation for the living world around them.
Each woodland animal becomes a small guide into nature — helping children build knowledge, empathy, and a love for the planet they call home.
Because when children learn to love the world around them, they grow up wanting to protect it.
About the Founder
Tammy Kennedy is a Montessori educator and the founder of Global Bambini and Curiosity & Wonder Studio. Her work focuses on helping children develop a deeper connection to nature through storytelling, hands-on learning, and creative exploration.
Through her products and educational programs, Tammy hopes to inspire curiosity, compassion for animals, and a lifelong love of the natural world in young children.
"Every child deserves the chance to discover the wonders of the natural world."
Where wonder lives
Curiosity & Wonder Studio
The Curiosity & Wonder Studio is a space — sometimes physical, always philosophical — where children are invited to slow down, look closely, and make something beautiful.
Here, there are no wrong answers. No timelines. No products to evaluate. Only the pure, unhurried joy of a child discovering what their hands and mind can do together.
