When you choose a school for your child, you choose a community for your family. We are proud of Keystone Montessori’s close-knit community and view our parent body as one of our greatest assets. Montessori education works best when we can build connections between school, home, and the greater community. This makes Montessori truly a way of life. 

Families often ask how they can support their child's classroom experiences at home and how they can be active members of the Keystone community. We know how busy you are, and your efforts to support the hard work of the children and their teachers never go unnoticed. We appreciate your faith in us and the Montessori method.

One of the best things you can do to deepen your relationships within our community and further your understanding of the Montessori method is to join us at our community meetings and parent education events. This month we are hosting two events you do not want to miss! 

Our next community and classroom meetings will be held on Tuesday, January 17th. The community meeting will begin at 6:00 pm and be followed by the classroom meetings. Our special speaker is Debby Riordan, an Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) Consultant and former AMI/USA Executive Director. You won’t want to miss her parent talk. And we always appreciate seeing you at the community meetings, and our guides look forward to sharing a glimpse into the classrooms with you.

Friday, January 27th, and Saturday, January 28th, is the Annual Keystone Montessori Journey. Join us to experience one classroom at every level through "the eyes of the child ."This event will allow you to see firsthand how your child learns every day. Parents will observe and participate in a classroom from every environment, Toddler through Adolescent. This outstanding opportunity is beneficial in comprehending and foreseeing your child’s future in the Montessori way of learning. Additional information will be sent soon, but mark your calendars now!

Dr. Maria Montessori believed deeply in the partnership between the classroom Guide and parents. She encouraged Guides to develop close relationships with families. Parent education events and community meetings are a time to foster that relationship, get to know other parents, and visit your child's classroom. Still, the most important reason to attend these events is that it will positively impact your child by deepening your understanding of the Montessori philosophy. Thank you for being part of the Keystone family, and we look forward to seeing you at our events this month. We are all joined together in our task of education. There is no magic line between school and the family; this, too, shall be their home.

In Health and Peace,
