| The Journey and Discovery - April 23 & 24, 2010 |
The Journey and Discovery event was a great success!

I would like to share a few comments from the participants:
· “ I wanted to stay for a longer time in each classroom”
· “The learning opportunities were very deep, but not overwhelming. A child can take their learning as far as they want.”
· “The experience answered many questions I had regarding Montessori education.”
· “ I was amazed by the preparation the young child has in Toddler and Primary and better understand the importance of the Montessori way.”
· “ I wish I had been in a Montessori Program as an Elementary and Middle School student. I now know I want this for my child!”
The next Journey and Discovery will be offered October 8th and 9th 2010. Click here for more detailed information about the event.
