Upcoming Montessori Parent Events
Montessori from the Start Programs
We invite you to participate in Forest Bluff School's Montessori From the Start parent education programs, which include lectures and book discussions throughout the academic year. These programs serve as a solid foundation for your child's earliest years and provide an excellent introduction to Montessori education and the goals of Forest Bluff School. You will gain a deeper understanding of your child's self-formation and have an opportunity to meet other parents with children of similar ages. Audio recordings of past lectures are available at https://soundcloud.com/paulapreschlack
*Please note: Guests are welcome to attend Montessori Parent Events at Forest Bluff School. Due to Covid, space is limited. Please RSVP to Lynn Lillard Jessen at 847.295.8338.
