February 2017 Newsletter September, 2013 Important Dates HAPPY FEBRUARY! Mom’s Day! Thursday, February 23 is Mom’s Day! It is a wonderful opportunity to see the Montessori approach in action and share the experience with your child. Morning Class Moms’ are invited to come from 9am to 10am. Mom’s who have students in the Afternoon Program may find a visit in the afternoon is less crowded. Please plan to come from 1:15pm to 2:15pm. If the date does not fit your schedule, please speak with your child’s teacher. Enrollment for the 2017-2018 School Year! When you consider re-enrollment remember that the Montessori Primary Program is a continuous, age appropriate curriculum. The hands-on materials and lessons carefully build on one another and allow children to make metal pictures. With these pictures children are able to move to abstract concepts with a deep understanding of the ideas. All children benefit from a Montessori experience. The ones who benefit the most are those who stay through the kindergarten year. The kindergarten year allows integration of all their previous experiences, both academic and social. It is hard to quantify but every year we see how the kindergarteners blossom. Your child’s teacher or I will be happy to meet with you if you any have questions regarding re-enrollment. We look forward to have you and your child return to Apple Montessori… Thank you!
