Parent Programs

MSD offers unique, thoughtfully designed, informative, adult events during the school year that we refer to as our “Parent Programs.” These events provide the opportunity to learn more about child development, best practices when it comes to teaching and parenting, give you a peek inside the classroom, and more about the hallmarks of a MSD education. There are morning coffees, evening presentations, weekend workshops, Community Gatherings with students, and much more! All of these events are dynamic experiences that get you even more engaged in your child’s education. We look forward to seeing you on campus!

In fulfilling a family’s Work Bond obligation for the school year, MSD asks each family to attend at least one Parent Program event (worth two Work Bond credits). Of course, you are welcome to attend as many as you’d like! Each time a family member attends a Parent Program event, they should note the event on their Work Bond form.

Podcasts are the new way for people to get information fast, when they want it, and how they want it. Since we have such busy lives, what’s attractive about podcasts is that you can get information that’s important to you while you’re making dinner, working out, driving in the car, or weeding your garden. That’s why we decided to launch the “MSD Community Podcast Series—Montessori Parenting Information On-the-Go.” We have compiled a series of podcasts at each grade level that are snapshots of what parents want to learn more about. We hope that this format will be helpful in keeping you up-to-date on the latest Montessori strategies and tactics for raising children from Toddler – Middle School. Listen once or as often as you like, or forward it to a friend or family member that could enjoy learning about a particular topic. We will be populating the site with new material as the year unfolds, so check back often. Happy Listening!
