We give the child nourishing food so that [their] little body may grow, and in just the same way we must provide [them] with suitable nourishment for [their] mental and moral growth. 
Maria MontessoriMaria Montessori Speaks to Parents

In order to truly reap the benefits of a Montessori education, we invite you to further enrich your family’s experience by learning more about the Montessori pedagogy! Learn how to make home-to-school transitions as smooth as possible and how to partner with us to support your child(ren)’s development at home. We know that no family can do all of the things, all of the time, but we can work together to enhance your investment in your child(ren)’s education by taking part in the learning process. Because – the more you learn, the more you appreciate!
