Parent Education

Parent Education 

Parents’ understanding of the Montessori philosophy and their child’s school experience has a direct impact on the success of the education program for their child. We strongly encourage and welcome parents to participate in events that are scheduled through the school year in order to provide opportunities for communication and learning.   Additionally, we recommend the following resources for learning more about Montessori methodologies and outcomes:
