Adults and children who are in their third year in Ms. Debbie's class or are in Elementary are invited to help us clean up the school’s grounds. We will be following school rules on the playground and all children must be supervised. Please bring your own implements of destruction and personal protective gear to remove invasive species from the school grounds. There may be poison ivy, so please dress appropriately.

Parent Workshop- Montessori for the Elementary-Aged Child

Learn what Montessori education is for the elementary-aged child.   We will discuss the shift in development children make when they enter the elementary years and how the Montessori classroom is designed to help them reach their full potential.  We will discuss "cosmic education," the cornerstone of the elementary curriculum, and what the elementary school day is like.
This workshop is open to the community but is for adults and babies in arms only. Childcare will be provided for currently enrolled students only. Please RSVP in advance for childcare.  Please RSVP by replying to this email or emailing beverley@daytonmontessori.org.  Please include the number of adults attending the workshop and the number of students attending childcare.
