On Wednesday, November 11th, families at all four of our campuses will sit down with their child’s guide for the first conference of the school year. If you’ve never been to a Montessori conference, here’s what it looks like.

It starts with the progress report

Before conference day, families receive a progress report through Transparent Classroom that shows how their child is doing across the different curriculum areas. It’s the starting point, and the conversation takes it from there.

Your child’s guide brings the classroom view

Montessori guides spend much of their day observing: which work a child reaches for, how they connect with friends, and what they’re ready to try next. That close attention is how guides prepare the classroom for each child, and it’s what they share with you.

You bring the view from home

The new word at dinner, the friend your child talks about, the job they suddenly insist on doing by themselves. Those details round out the picture, and our guides love hearing them.

You leave with ideas for home

Guides are happy to share what works in the classroom, like the words they use when big feelings come up, so home and school can speak the same language. Our parent resource booklet will be in the lobby that day, full of articles on questions families often ask.

School is closed to children on November 11th, and childcare is provided during each family’s conference. We’re looking forward to sitting down with you and celebrating your child.
