In a Montessori environment, relationships are the foundation of a child’s sense of security and belonging. By fostering strong connections with both parents and children, we create a space where infants feel safe, understood, and ready to explore the world around them.
Cantera’s Juniper Lead Guide, Ms. Rocio, believes that open communication and collaboration with families are essential to a child’s smooth transition into the classroom.
“I’ve found that when parents and teachers work together, children develop a stronger sense of trust and confidence. By keeping communication open, we can better understand a child’s needs and challenges, making their time at school feel like an extension of home. When families apply the patience and self-regulation lessons we introduce in class to their daily routines, children begin to build lifelong skills in self-control and emotional awareness.
It’s amazing to see the impact of consistency between home and school—when children feel secure, they thrive!”
