Elementary Dad's and Mom's Nights
During the evenings of January 18 and February 15, the
elementary classroom will be open for current elementary students
to show their moms and dads the classroom and what projects they have been
working on. The classroom will be open between 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. for
students and their parents to stop in.
Please plan to bring only one parent per student.
There are two evenings scheduled so that each parent can observe and have
time for one on one interaction. When two parents come together, or a
parent and a sibling come with the elementary student, the dynamics change.
Please plan to make arrangements for siblings to have alternate care so that
adequate time can be spent with your child one on one. You may even elect
to go have a treat afterward
to end your special evening!
Dad's Night is Wednesday, January 18 and Mom's Night is
Wednesday, February 15.
Snow Days
During severe winter weather there may be school closings.
Please check our website (News Page or Home Page) to see if Peaceful Pathways
Montessori is
closed. We also try to list our closing with
www.emergencyclosingcenter.com
but sometimes their website becomes slow on inclement days when so many schools
are reporting.

Parent Child Classes Begin - NOW ENROLLING - Classes
begin February 10, 2012
Parent/Child classes are an opportunity for the child (ages newborn through
2 1/2) along with the parent or caregiver to experience time together in a
prepared Montessori classroom environment. Materials are geared to the infant
and toddler age. The teacher acts as the facilitator of learning and play, and
provides information and readings to help the adult experience and understand
the child's growth and development - including social interactions. The
classes are based on the Montessori approach to learning -focusing on
observation of the child, successful learning experiences of exploration and
basic skills. The method lets the child have meaningful experiences in a
prepared environment that is guided by a Montessori trained teacher.
Classes are held in the Toddler Classroom at Peaceful Pathways. The room is
equipped with learning materials and furniture appropriate to this age group.
There is also an adult lending library with articles, books and videos
available in our school office. The same parent or caregiver should attend
class with each child for the entire session in order to receive the greatest
benefit for the child and adult.
A parent only orientation meeting is held before the start of each session to
familiarize the parents with the classroom and daily schedule. We will also
review the Montessori philosophy and goals for children in our school.
Classes will meet on Fridays from 9:30 - 11:00 a.m.
