At Home with Montessori
POSTPONED
NEW DATE TBD
Considering the young child’s need for belonging, as well as his or her ever-increasing capabilities and desire to contribute to family life, requires careful reflection on the part of the adults. Each family is unique, and although Montessori principles incorporate the child’s point of view along with the adult’s, every family makes its own choices about how to make their home inviting to all members. Please join us as we explore some ways families may create a home in which all family members feel respected, supported and valued.
