Parenting Education

Classes for Better Parenting


As a parent you may be wondering:

“What is my child doing in the class?”
“How do I know that my child is progressing?”
“What is Montessori?”
“How to deal with tantrums, willfulness, and a self-opinionated child?”

Our staff hosts a series of classes designed for parents. The series occurs in both the fall and spring. Because each class stands alone, it is possible to attend them in any order.


The purpose of these events is to strengthen child-parent-teacher relationships by offering topics of interest that focus on Montessori educational principles and practices, parenting skills and child-development issues.


Childcare is available for some, but not all, parent education events. Make sure to reserve a spot by sending an email to info@alefbetmontessori.org.

Please sign up for 3 of the following classes:
