We find The Montessori Foundation provides excellent information and resources for the parents of students at The Montessori House, and for parents considering The Montessori House for next school year.
Access to their latest issue: Tomorrow’s Child May 2017:
We had the pleasure of having Olivia’s grandparents — Alan and Bonnie — perform songs on mandolin and harp on March 17. Thanks for the lovely music!
Her mother writes, “Madison was accepted at Swarthmore College and will play lacrosse there. So excited! It’s a really good, academic school, and we credit The Montessori House for putting her on a strong academic path :)”.
Madison and her two sisters — Jacqueline and Hannah — all attended The Montessori House through Kindergarten.
We’re pleased to congratulate three alumnae of The Montessori House on their wins in the Bergen County 2016-17 Reflections Program:
Not only did they all attend The Montessori House, but they each have younger siblings who attended or are now attending The Montessori House.
Suhani, Lulu, and Hypatia– Congratulations! from your friends at The Montessori House.
The Montessori House School will be closed Thursday, due to the severe weather predicted for the day. We hope to see everyone back at school on Friday — remember to wear your snow clothes!
Ileana attended The Montessori House in 2000 (and her two sisters attedned too). This is the first in a new series spreading the news about Montessori House alumni (and pictures we still have on file). Congratulations Ileana!
On February 3rd, we welcomed dentist Dr. Robert Bogossian back to The Montessori House to talk to our children about teeth, and how to take good care of their own teeth. Dr. Bogossian has been visiting The Montessori House for quite some time: his daughter Alexandra was a student here, and is now in her second year of college!
To entertain and educate the children he uses some great props during his presentation — notable is the giant toothbrush, as you can see in the photos below.
Although Dr. Bogossian sees patients, young and old, in his office in Englewood, he and his wife Lynn reside in Tenafly. They continue to refer new families to The Montessori House and, along with the school, they’ve been generous supporters of both Friends of Montessori Foundation and Tenafly Nature Center.
Dr. Bogossian — thanks again, and we can’t wait for you to return next year!
With support from Friends of Montessori Foundation (FoM), 17 Kindergarten/1st Grade students visited Bergen PAC in Englewood, for a performance of “The Ugly Duckling” produced by Lightwire Theater on January 31.
The children and teachers traveled by bus. When they left the streets were dry, but by the time they returned we had snow!
Lunar New Year came early to The Montessori House (the Lunar New Year falls on Saturday, Jan 28th, this year).
As you can see from the photos, we have the loveliest parents! They prepared wonderful Lunar New Year presentations and treats for all the children, with New Year celebrations in the morning and the afternoon.
Much thanks to Na Young (Audrey), Sunwoo (Anna), Gemma (Zoey and Zachary), Michelle (Phoebe and Lucy), Niya (Ella), Mina (Brandon), Nidhi (Sanjali), Hannah (Joseph), Cecilia (Thomas), and Xia (Connor).
A big thanks to Huee (mother of Isabel and Mila), who arranged for our students to have a performance and demonstration on Wednesday of Lion Dance by The Wan Chi Ming Hung Gar Institute of New York City. We were thrilled by the Lion Dance — as you can see below (WOW!).
