Montessori 101
Whether you are new to Montessori or seeking a deeper connection to its purpose, Montessori 101 offers a shared starting point. Together, we explore the vision that guides the work, the history that shaped it, and the practices that bring it to life—creating a common language and understanding that strengthens your community and work with children.
Purpose & Intention
This session reveals the 'why', the vision, the history, and the 'how'. The learning approach with the adults is similar to how we approach the children. It is an experience of discovery, independence, interdependence, and choice in how and what is learned.
