This session is designed to help parents in their decision-making process by informing them about the Montessori philosophy, method and the benefits for their child at different stages of development. From preschool through the elementary school years, “What is Montessori education?; What can Montessori education do for my child?; How does it differ from other types of educational experiences?” are some of the questions that will be addressed. The presentation will include a panel of experienced Montessori educators followed by a Q&A with teachers and parents whose children are currently enrolled in a Montessori program: early childhood (including Kindergarten), lower elementary or upper elementary.
