Parent Involvement is Considered Crucial
In the Montessori educational program, parent involvement in the learning process is considered crucial. According to Maria Montessori, children learn from their environment. Adults promote the learning process by serving as the dynamic link between the environment and the child. That is, learning is not seen as the mere passing of information from the teacher to the student. Rather, it is the process through which the child gains insight about life from daily experiences, whether at school or elsewhere. Thus teaching is a joint responsibility of the school and the family.

Continuity Between the School and the Home
In keeping with the Montessori philosophy, our program strives to maintain continuity between the school and the home. To attain this continuity, a varied series of parent activities was developed and is implemented throughout the school year. They include classroom observations, parent-teacher conferences, parent education nights, and open house for students and their families.

Throughout the year the Directresses may request assistance with a special activity (cultural celebration, fieldtrip, etc.). It is a special time for the child when parent(s) are included in their school's functions.
