Classroom Observations 
Thank you to the families who have come in to observe our environment. We have enjoyed seeing you and hope that you are loving the Montessori experience as much as we do! It is encouraged that all parents come in to observe our environment twice a year. Observations give parents a better understanding of what exactly is happening in the Montessori environment. If you have not yet done so, please use the link below to schedule a classroom observation.
