Montessori in the Home

Dr. Montessori recognized the value of family support for children to gain the maximum benefit from a Montessori education. Family support is as important today as it was over one hundred years ago.

Why Family Matters

  • In keeping with Dr. Montessori’s ideas, parents and guardians are vital partners in the education process.
  • Research indicates that the successful Montessori program includes parent participation and partnership.
  • Parents and guardians provide a balance and reinforce the collaboration between school and home.

Due to their important place in the educational process, parents and guardians are valued, needed, and supported by AMI/USA, AMI schools, and AMI programs.
