Becoming a Montessori Parent
The Montessori Parent is a wonderful partner in the journey of supporting the children on their path to becoming happy, healthy individuals. We hold a common bond in our commitment to the values and goals
of an excellent Montessori education. Close bonds are formed between families, students, and the staff. Respect for one another is at the heart of all we do. Adults model the same values we teach in the classrooms–respect, honesty, and a commitment to being an active participant in the community.
We believe parents are their childʼs most important teachers. Open communication allows us to work together to provide the best for the children. Parents are encouraged to attend the parent education events and borrow from our lending library. These are a part of our commitment to support parents in understanding the needs of children at varying stages of their development and understanding how the Montessori approach meets these needs. The success that Alden Montessori has experienced is in large part because of the strong partnership we have with our parents.
The Alden Montessori Parents are a joy to behold. We have such a wonderful group of parents. They plan and organize many of the incredible events the children enjoy, inside and outside of the school. These moms, dads and grandparents also do many amazing things to support our teachers.
Be a Part: The success that Alden Montessori has experienced is in large part because of the strong partnership we have with our parents. We heartily encourage parents to become a part of the school community by offering their time and talents.
Parents have so many wonderful talents to share. Over the years, we have enjoyed many parents share with the children their artistic talents, handiwork, knowledge and time. It is a joy to see the smiles on the childrenʼs faces when a parent comes to share something special.
If you have a special talent or time and would like to become a special part of the school, please see us in the office. We would love to hear all about you!
