Show overview
Baan Dek Montessori has been publishing since 2015, and across the 8 years since has built a catalogue of 132 episodes. That works out to roughly 30 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence.
Episodes typically run ten to twenty minutes — most land between 8 min and 15 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Education show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 3.2 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2017, with 27 episodes published. Published by Baan Dek.

Children will learn anything as long as they’re provided with a clear model, reinforcement, and an opportunity to practice. https://baandek.org/posts/do-as-i-do/ Read this on the blog https://baandek.org/blog/ Follow us @baandek Get in touch [email protected] Our theme music is by Lee Rosevere
