Edmonds Montessori

A gentle routine helps children feel grounded—even in summer.
Balance freedom with structure to support independence and calm.

Summer is the perfect time to practice independence:
• Pouring drinks
• Folding laundry
• Preparing snacks
Small tasks build big confidence 💪

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor those who have served.
It’s also a meaningful opportunity to spend time together outdoors—reflecting, connecting, and appreciating the simple moments as a family.

In Montessori, teachers are guides—not lecturers.
By stepping back, they allow children to step forward—building independence, confidence, and a true love of learning.

“The greatest sign of success for a teacher… is to be able to say, ‘The children are now working as if I did not exist.’” — Maria Montessori
Guiding independence is at the heart of everything we do.

Teacher Appreciation Week starts on Monday!
Behind every confident, curious child is a thoughtful guide 🍎
Montessori teachers don’t just teach—they observe, support, and inspire independence every day.
We’re so grateful for the educators who nurture a lifelong love of learning.

Simple outdoor moments can spark big learning 🌱
Try these Montessori-inspired activities at home:
• Observe bugs and talk about their movement
• Plant seeds and track their growth
• Collect natural treasures and sort them
Learning doesn’t need to be complicated—it just needs curiosity.

Today we celebrate our shared home 🌎
In Montessori, children learn that caring for the Earth starts with small, meaningful actions—watering plants, tending gardens, and respecting all living things.
This Earth Day, we invite our students and families to pause, notice, and nurture the world around them. Because when children love the Earth, they grow into adults who protect it 💚

“Solicitous care for living things affords satisfaction to one of the most lively instincts of the child's mind.” — Maria Montessori
