Journey and Discovery Friday and Saturday , March 14th -15th Experience the educational journey through the eyes of a Santa Cruz Montessori student. Participants will find answers to their questions about the Montessori program through their own experience. You will come away with a deeper understanding of Montessori education and its focus on meeting the developmental needs of the child. The ‘Journey’ portion happens on Friday and begins with a silent walk through the classrooms where you will have an opportunity to look at the materials and appreciate the beauty of the classroom. Afterward, you will come together as a group to share your observations. On Saturday, you have the opportunity to ‘Discover’ by interacting with the Montessori materials. Learn how the child constructs meaning and how each level is the springboard for the next. Please RSVP in the school newsletter.
