The Path
Year-Long Weekly Live Community Meetings Providing Understanding and Guiding Support.
Your coach, your guide, your space, your community!
Star Path Montessori welcomes you to its weekly remote gathering of individuals just like you- caregivers wanting to learn more of Montessori but also, connect, share and support one another on this journey.
What you wish for is lasting support and a strong sense of community alongside you as you make your way in this journey. Star Path Montessori has you covered. The Path program is designed as a support system, structured to meet regularly with engaging discussions and Q&A opportunities related to monthly topics and recent experiences shared by our members. Current families enrolled in The Path, which forms the Star Path Montessori Community, will have access to weekly virtual meetings for this continued guidance and support.
The Path is a 35-week program of meetings held via Zoom, twice a week. Each meeting will average 30 minutes long and be part of a pre-determined structure of monthly topics.
This program will include more in-depth material, including Montessori theory, topics of child development, an appreciation for a holistic approach to being with your child, having the respect for children that they deserve as growing humans in this world, and many other ways of putting your newly developed skills to practice.
These meetings are offered to your implementing team: you, your partner or spouse, other family members, nannies and babysitters, and anyone else who will be interacting with your child(ren) and the Montessori-at-Home space while navigating the daily routine that transpires in the home. These meetings are meant to provide your team with a personal connection, creating a community partnership and open forum for sharing and growing at a unit.
