Parent Involvement

 

Nothing is as important to Montessori schooling as

parent involvement. We believe a strong relationship between

home and school is essential to a solid foundation. We encourage

our parents to take every opportunity to participate in the education

of their children. We embrace and foster an open line of communication

between parents, directresses and directors, and school. We invite

frequent visits and provide a variety of parent volunteer opportunities.

After hours informal parent education programs are available - each

designed to guide you through the journey of helping your child discover

and enjoy a lifetime of learning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Conferences

Open and frequent communication is essential to your child's education.

we are happy to talk with you about your child's progress, our school and

the philosophy behind the Montessori Method - the cornerstone of our

program. Four times each academic year, we invite parents to regularly

scheduled, formal conferences with your child's directresses or director.

 

Observation                                                                                                                  

As a parent, you may wish to observe one of our classes. This is an

excellent way to understand what makes a Starting Point Montessori

education so unique. Come by or visit and you will see our very busy

classrooms. Working on geographic puzzle maps, counting beads, or

reading - each child is truly engaged in a fun learning activity. Lunch

is an opportunity to nurture mealtime social skills and good manners.

Our children enjoy serving themselves and conversing over lunch.

After lunch, quiet time provides the children with the opportunity to

read a book or listen to music

in a relaxed atmosphere.

 

Parent Education

We welcome your participation and encourage your involvement in your

child's education. Starting Point Montessori invites parent volunteers to

help with specific events or field trips. We also invite parents to help with

reading during class time.

 

Volunteer

Our school host regular Parent Education evenings and invite parents to

participate. These sessions are designed to provide parents with helpful

advice on a broad range of parenting issues. Subjects include everything

from discipline to Montessori in the home. Some sessions feature an

outside speaker.
