Welcome to the Montessori Parent-Child Community at Montessori Children’s House of North Barrington!

The Parent-Child program was developed for families with children from birth to thirty-six months of age. Families who are interested in joining the Parent-Child community are encouraged to come for a complimentary class as a way of getting acquainted. Our office staff will be happy to schedule such a visit for you.
This Parent-Child class opens you new ways of interaction with your child. Dr. Montessori’s approach to education recognizes the parent as the child’s first and primary educator. Our task, though, is to stand back and give the child enough freedom to build himself, within the carefully prepared home and school environments. Our highly experienced teachers are designing an educational experience to enhance optimal child development and will carefully support your warm and constructive relationship with your child.

Classes for the 2012-2013 School Year will be offered in five six-week sessions, and will be held on Fridays from 9:30 till 11:00 a.m. During the last class of each session, in addition to the children’s usual activities, there will be a discussion for adult class members centering on a topic identified as being of interest to the group.
