Join Us For Parent Education Events.
Upcoming Event: An introduction to the Montessori method and its unique connection to your child's growth.
How does the Montessori method prepare for and respond to children's development? What do the teachers mean when they talk about the "prepared environment?" What do all those odd-looking materials do anyway?
Presented by Catherine McTamaney
Thursday October 5th | 6:00-7:30pm | 535 Main St. Allenhurst
