If there was ever a time in the history of Montessori education where it was imperative to establish and maintain a positive partnership with parents – this is the time. More than ever we need parents who can help us understand the needs and tendencies of the students we serve. More than ever we need parents to understand how Montessori pedagogy can be applied appropriately at home. More than ever we need active parent support in helping us keep our school communities safe, stable, and sustainable.

Cultivating trust, transparency, and loyalty among parents requires Montessori guides and school leaders to create a “Relational Prepared Environment” with our families. There are specific strategies and steps, tools and techniques, for achieving this.
