Resources for Parents
August 15, 2022
Because Montessori is more a way of life than an isolated educational pedagogy, it is essential for parents to partner with teachers to best support their children's growth and development. In addition to attending Back to School Nights and Parent Education events, parents may wish to learn more about Montessori by reading some of the resources shared during our Parent Orientations last week.
