Children age 2 - 6 and their caregivers are invited to Mini-Montessori! Montessori play is purposeful play that mimics real-life tasks. It focuses on mindfulness during activities and focusing on the task at hand. There is no “right way” to interact in a Montessori setting. The goal is for children to independently interact and come up with their own creative solutions using trial and error.
