Montessori Center School is hosting an educational evening presentation for interested parents titled, “Why Montessori? Defining Montessori for the 21st Century.”

The event will be held on the MCS campus in the school’s Multi-Purpose Building from 6 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 3.

MCS Head of School Patricia Colby, Ph.D., will be highlighting the philosophy of Montessori education and will share with the group how the Montessori method, with over 100 years of success, has served children in more than 120 countries all over the world.

MCS looks forward to putting a spotlight on this approach to education that is scientifically designed to help the student follow his or her search for knowledge. In this day and age we know that families are curious about a methodology that values the human spirit and the development of the whole child — physical, social, emotional and cognitive, and we look forward to providing more information for those who would like to learn more.
