Parent's Role
The Parents' Role in a Montessori Classroom
At Ridgewood Montessori School, we view parents as the primary teachers in a child’s life. The more Montessori teachers and parents communicate and cooperate, the more the student in the Montessori School is likely to benefit.
Being supportive at home can be done best by first being informed.
It is advantageous to be aware of basic Montessori philosophy and practices and to use these at home when appropriate. Simple things like a step stool at the sink, coats hanging at a level at which the child can access, placing books, toys and art supplies in an orderly way on shelves may all help foster independence.
