Our Montessori Course for Families
You and Your Child’s Montessori Education: Early Childhood
This course is designed for families with children 2½ - 6 years old, who are interested in incorporating the Montessori philosophy into their day-to-day lives and parenting approach. Participants will receive resources to enhance their child’s education, deepen their Montessori knowledge, and learn how to apply Montessori principles at home.
This course will include 6 weeks of live, online experiences and self-guided study. Participants will be expected to commit 1 – 2 hours each week.
Course modules include a look at Montessori's view of child development, the role of the parent, the work cycle, and the prepared environment as it applies to the classroom and home.
We invite you to share this flyer with families of early childhood students at your school who may be interested in participating.
