Changes in Early Childhood for 2020-2021- Continuing with Kindergarten
We are in unprecedented times and as we move forward for next year. MMA feels it best to pause The HOUSE of Children (ages 3-5 yrs) for next school year.
- With the current Covid 19 situation, we may need to be prepared to dismiss school again during the next school year. This is difficult with a tuition based program.
Our new director, Mr. Hirokawa, has assured us that he is in support of Montessori philosophy to have the early childhood experience as part of the permanent program of the school, but for now agrees that a pause is necessary for the next school year.
Donations for GARDEN Boxes- Please put on BLOGS
Hello MMA families,
It is that time of year again! We are planting our school garden boxes for next year and would love your donation! We would love it if each student would donate a plant or a packet of seeds to contribute to our community garden. This will help us tremendously flush out and make our gardens full of a wide variety of plants. Your student could help pick out the plant and bring it to the front office to have planted by our school gardener, Ms. Shanan
Thank you-
Ms. Shanan.
