Summer Vacation / SCHOOL CLOSED

Aug 4 – Aug 15 all-day

Village Montessori is a loving, nurturing and rigorously educational environment where children may attend our year-round school starting at 18-months old. Our students undergo the amazing process of brain development only obtained when in a true Montessori classroom.

And we tremendously value our amazing professional Village teaching staff!

And because we value them so greatly, we want to extend to them the benefit of time away from work. Everyone needs time to recharge. Even teachers! By offering our talented staff this time, it enables each of them to return fresh, more productive and ultimately even more available to our children.

By closing the school during this time, it also affords our teachers this much-needed time to rest and recalibrate without worrying about what is happening in their classrooms without them there. It also affords our Village caretakers time to perform necessary maintenance to improve wear and tear on the school without being disruptive. We are excited to use this time to deeply clean, paint, repair, update, improve, redecorate, etc. The possibilities are truly endless!

So…we wish you all a happy and relaxing Summer vacation! Can’t wait to hear stories from our Village children regarding their adventures!

Feast of the Epiphany

Jan 6 all-day

Today, January 6, celebrates the Feast of the Epiphany – a day celebrated in Italy of revelation, and festivities; also, the day in 1907 which Dr. Maria Montessori opened her first Casa dei Bambini in Rome.

In many ways, today observes the spread of Montessori on a public level. For the first time ever there was a school whose doors were open to children in need.

In many other ways however, this day celebrates a movement and momentous occasion that shed light into the world of education changing both the scope and thought on how children develop and reach their fullest potential. Children everywhere were given a gift that day.

With the unveiling of Montessori Guide (www.montessoriguide.org) on this historic day, it is our hope to commemorate Dr. Montessori and continue to pass along the gift she so freely and lovingly brought to children across the world.

Let us rejoice and celebrate today as a feast for the children.
