"Montessori 101"

Join us for a discussion about what makes Montessori different from Traditional School. We will cover some of our curriculum and philosophy and what you can do at home to support the work at school. We will have pizza and childcare available. We can't wait to talk with you!
At least one adult from your family should attend. It is very important for you to understand what we are working on here at school so you can support your child in his or her optimal development. We will be talking about and demonstrating how the learning materials in the Montessori classroom lead your child to functional independence. This event is for Toddler and Primary parents.
We will have pizza and childcare available.
