A Parent's Role in Education

We know that learning happens both inside and outside the classroom. This course is designed for families interested in incorporating the Montessori philosophy into their day-to-day lives and parenting approach.

This course will include 6 weeks of live, online sessions and self-guided study. Participants can expect 1 – 2 hours of commitment each week, including one-hour live Zoom sessions. Content is geared towards parents and guardians of children (ages 2 ½ – 6) who are currently enrolled in a Montessori school or are interested in learning more about the philosophy.
