Contact Us Today!

The long awaited parent night has been scheduled! We thank you for your patience as we found the perfect time to prepare to this. We are asking at least 1 parent or guardian is present and no children. This is a night for you to learn more about your child’s day and the Montessori Method. Here are the details of the night:

Wednesday March 16 th , 2016

6:15pm – Start of the night! You can meet in your child’s classroom (if you have 2 children and only one parent present, you can pick the class you’d like to see). The lead teacher will do a short presentation on what a day a like and some of the materials.

6:45pm – We’ll all meet in the middle room for a presentation from Ms Keerun. It will run about 20 minutes.

After the presentation, there will be time for you to ask any questions that you may have about our school, the Montessori Method or anything else. If you have personal questions about your child’s education, we ask that you wait until your child’s parent teacher conference. They are just around the corner.  We’ll also have some light refreshments and time for parents to connect and mingle. You many leave at any point after Ms Keerun’s presentation.

Please let us know if you have any questions! We’ll see you on March 16th!

Raising Helpers: Nurturing the Joy of Pitching In

by Shonali Harrison • 31 May 2025
Let’s talk about one of the best things about toddlers (aside from their adorable vocabulary and unmatched snack enthusiasm): they love to help. Truly. Whether they’re dragging a broom twice their size across the floor or insisting on stirring the pancake batter, they’re all in. To them, daily tasks aren’t “chores” - they are important jobs! Real, grown-up work. Work that says, you matter and you belong here. But if your once-eager toddler has morphed into a bigger kid who suddenly seems less thrilled about helping out, you’re not alone. As children grow, they become more independent and focused on their own interests. It’s totally natural and actually a beautiful sign of their development! Still, that doesn’t mean the desire to help disappears. We just have to nurture it a little differently. Here are some simple, Montessori-inspired ways to keep that helpful spirit alive as your child grows...
