The Montessori Journey

“The greatest sign of success for a teacher… is to be able to say, ‘The children are now working as if I did not exist.’”

- Dr. Maria Montessori

An Invitation to Experience Montessori Through a Parent’s Eyes


At Northwood Montessori, we believe that when parents understand why and how the Montessori approach works, they can better support their child’s growth both at school and at home. Our Montessori Journey events are designed to bring parents into the heart of the classroom; to see, touch, and experience the magic of Montessori firsthand.


Through guided exploration, you will walk through each stage of the Montessori environment, from the Practical Life and Sensorial materials to Language and Mathematics. Parents often describe this experience as eye-opening, a moment when they truly see how their child’s concentration, independence, and joy for learning are cultivated every day.

Classroom Uncorked


A Deeper Look Into the Montessori Classroom


Classroom Uncorked is our hands-on extension of the Montessori Journey; a relaxed, engaging evening where parents are invited to explore the classroom environment in depth. With the guidance of our trained educators, participants will:


  • Try out Montessori materials for themselves
  • Discover the purpose and progression behind each area of study
  • Gain practical insights on how Montessori principles can be applied at home
  • Connect with other parents and enjoy meaningful conversation


This event offers a wonderful blend of learning and community, all while enjoying lightrefreshments in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

To aid life, leaving it free, however, that is the basic task of the educator.

- Dr. Maria Montessori
