"Children become like the things they love." ~ Dr. Maria Montessori Two times per year, our Elementary and Junior High classrooms host a parent breakfast. The breakfast is one community activity in which we open our classrooms to our families so that they make take a glimpse into what their children are doing in the classroom. At Montessori Academy, we pride ourselves on our ability to build strong relationships with the many wonderful families that have been a part of our school's long history.  Sharing who we are and what we do is vital to bridging the gap between the school and home.  If you have not had the opportunity to take part in one of our parent breakfasts, we hope you can make it the next time.  To learn more about what we do at Montessori Academy, please contact Kathy Kolata at kkolata@tma-el.org.
