The new toddler parents are invited to meet toddler staff and learn about classroom policies, procedures, and the developmental and behavioral focus of the toddler student. We will discuss the focus on life skills and home environment, along with an overview of the Montessori learning philosophy.
Toddler New Parent Orientation Registeration
Primary and Elementary parents are invited to the come into the classroom and learn the specifics on their child’s classroom procedures as well as curriculum.
Parents who are new to their child’s community will be invited to do a classroom observation, which allows for better understanding of the dynamics of the environment and the use of materials in the classroom.
This is an opportunity for parents to explore the entire continuum of the school first hand, just as their children do during the school day.
What comes to mind when you think about your own formative education? Do you ever wonder what your child will experience when you drop him off in the morning? Have you been curious about the answer your child gives when you ask her what she did today and she answers “the farm game” or “the checker board”?
Spend the day engaged with the very same materials your child utilizes in the classroom and these questions (and more) will be answered!
This class will help you:
- Better understand Montessori materials
- See how the materials are integrated from Toddler to Elementary
- Discover your personal learning style
If your child is transitioning from their current environment and moving into their next phase of the Montessori journey, we invite you to join Looking Ahead meetings. Depending upon your child’s “new” environment, the format and content will vary for each session.
Elementary parents are welcome to visit the first Friday of each month to get an overview of their child’s lessons and projects.
By attending Parent Study Programs, you will be afforded the opportunity to better understand the Montessori practices conducted in the classroom and the use and purpose of the Montessori materials. As most of our parents did not attend a Montessori school themselves, Parent Study programs help create consistency between school and home.
The classes are taught by school administration.
Childcare is not available unless otherwise specified.

The Parent Study Program helps you better understand what and how your child is learning. After attending several workshops, I am amazed at what the children learn at such a young age. With these methods it seems so logical and within their grasp. The programs re-confirmed that sending my son to Radmoor was the right decision. – Autumn Romig, Parent of Primary Student
