For Parents
Dr. Montessori once said: Within the child lies the fate of the future.
We understand you have a huge task on your hands - raising our future leaders, educators, activists, and citizens. We understand that you want the best for your child, and we see the love that just radiates out of you when you speak with us about your goals for their education and future.
We are here to let you know that you are not alone in this endeavor. Our administrators and teachers at Amherst Montessori are committed to maintaining a safe, inclusive, nurturing environment in which your child's independence and capabilities can be realized.
Our staff strives to establish and maintain strong connections with parents. Greeting you and your child in the morning carline and relaying information about your child's day at drop off are two daily opportunities for maintaining that connection. Keeping regular communication with you, via phone, email and ParentSquare are all important opportunities for touching base about your child's progress. Setting up Parent Education events help us keep you informed about our ever-expanding education practices.
A large part of being a Montessori guide is getting to know each child on a deeper level, cultivating a keen awareness for their strengths, interests, and needs. Working collaboratively with parents helps us gain a well-rounded picture of your child, allowing us to meet both you and your child's individual needs as best we can. Each family, whether this is your very first year or your child is moving on from us at last, serves a vital and unique role in our community.
None of us would be here if it weren't for the love, support, and generousity of parents. We are grateful to be here for you and your child on this journey.
