Family Education EventsGetting Your Child Ready for Montessori prepares adults at home on how to support their child as they prepare to enter the Montessori classroom. It provides families with helpful hints about how to adapt the home environment to complement their educational experience and allow the child more independence. These can be found on the all-school calendar here.
Family Information Nights take place before the start of school for new families. This orientation session will answer many of your questions and prepare parents for the routines of the classroom. These can be found on the all-school calendar here. Back to School Bash: This year this event will be held on September 7th between 4:30 and 6:30 pm. Families can drop-in anytime to the playground at 750 Howard St. (the primary building). Bring a picnic dinner if desired and we will provide the treats! Journey and Discovery is a wonderful two-day event that allows parents to experience Montessori as their child does. Parents are guided through the Montessori environment and allowed to actively engage with lessons and materials as they explore the classrooms from Primary through Upper Elementary. COMING FEBRUARY 2023! Family Open Houses are held each year for each classroom. These events provide an opportunity for students to show off their progress, for families to get to know one another, and for informal conversation with the staff of each classroom. |
