Ava Wanas Montessori: parent teacher conference week

parent teacher conference week

This past week, we welcomed parents to the school to meet with teachers. When the Directress of a Montessori classroom can leave and have the students continue working as if she were still there, it's a sign of success!

“We cannot know the consequences of suppressing a child's spontaneity when he is just beginning to be active. We may even suffocate life itself. That humanity which is revealed in all its intellectual splendor during the sweet and tender age of childhood should be respected with a kind of religious veneration. It is like the sun which appears at dawn or a flower just beginning to bloom. Education cannot be effective unless it helps a child to open up himself to life.”

Maria Montessori
