He loves my arm. Our children are a little obsessed with roly polies (aka pill bugs aka Armadillidium Vulgare) these days! Did you know that they are actually not insects? They are terrestrial crustaceans & breathe air with gills which is why they can often be found in damp areas under logs mulch and stones. Anywho... Thought you’d like to know

We’ve traveled to the land down under for our first summer session. Sausage rolls, vegemite, koalas, kangaroos & Australian landmarks ahead! #montessori #montessorishelf #montessorishelfie #shelfie #summercamp #summer #montessorisummer

A little peak into one of our primary 3-6 classrooms! Our teachers had a staff development day last Friday to make new materials & set up for our summer program. Things are feeling shiny & refreshed & the children were eager to explore this morning. #mmsummer #montessori #summer #preschool #montessorischool #montessoriclassroom

Today we celebrated our 2021 kindergarten graduates. The 3rd year in primary is the most valuable primary year, when it all comes together & it was a year unlike any other!! We are so proud of these resilient scholars & their hardworking teachers who guided & loved them through it all #kindergartengraduation #montessori #missionmontessori #montessorigraduation #summerherewecome

Loved this fantastic piece written with grace, wisdom & humility by one of our MM moms. She discusses how the behavior we mirror & our relationship with our children provides them tremendous opportunities to thrive.

Sending you hope through memories & the beautiful voices of children
