Like many other holidays and events, this year’s Halloween will be impacted by the ongoing pandemic and the safety precautions that surround it. Traditional Halloween activities are fun, but some can increase the risk of getting or spreading COVID-19. The CDC recommends planning alternate ways to participate in Halloween. 

When it comes to investing in your child’s education, it is important to do the proper research. The question, “Why Montessori?” is a valid one. Here are several reasons why investing in a Montessori education is a wise choice.

We are officially in the middle of summer!  The days are longer, hotter, and more humid than ever.  It can be challenging to tackle summer academic work when it is so tempting to relax and play outdoors.  But it is important to remember that children should remain motivated to learn.  Summer academic work is often recommended in order to bridge the summer gap and avoid the so-called “summer slide.”

Reading books aloud to children is part of the magic of childhood.  There is something that is unforgettable about how words of a story can create a movie in your mind and make characters come to life. 

Dear Alexander Montessori Parents and Families:

As we concluded our school year, having witnessed the resilience of our Staff, students, and families, and the joy of our 5th Graders and Kindergarteners as we “graduated” in new ways, we could not help but be torn. As a school, we celebrated an ending and beginning in a novel way. At the same time, as a nation, we are experiencing suffering and turmoil, which has its roots in our history of racial injustice.
