Montessori Showcase

It's been a very busy week!  The children have been working with a strong sense of independence while being receptive to new lessons as they master older ones.  Also, our classroom has seen a number of visitors of new families planning for next school year who are interested in learning more about our program.  We are eager to share our school and showcase the hallmarks of Montessori classrooms.
