So, you’ve chosen to enroll your child in a Montessori school? Here’s an overview of what you might expect, as documented in their “daily updates”:
Day 1:
Sophia had an amazing first day! She appeared quite satisfied working independently. Although she prefers her personal space, it seems she is truly enjoying her environment.
Day 2:
Sophia was a bit fatigued today! She struggled to nap during the music session, but we are optimistic she will adapt soon.
Lunch: Avocado, peanut butter with apples, and ancient grains.
Exciting news—Sophia is becoming quite vocal! She’s the most expressive child in class, earning her an unofficial award for enthusiasm, which we don’t actually give out due to our anti-competitive stance.
Day 3:
Thank you for the extra change of clothes! Just a note: we encourage clothing that is devoid of words or vibrant patterns, so we’ve dressed her in a locally sourced hemp poncho. Quite a unique choice!
Day 4:
Sophia enjoyed climbing at the playground! Her strength is developing well. If you’re interested in enhancing her play at home, consider adding a brachiation bar—it’s a simple project requiring some untreated wood and wall space.
Day 5:
Happy 2nd birthday to Sophia! Apologies for the return of the three dozen personalized cupcakes; we prefer to celebrate with nature walks, which provide a more enriching experience.
Lunch: Kale chips, kefir, gluten-free crackers.
Today was particularly interesting—Sophia embraced a gender-neutral outfit, leading one of the substitutes to mistakenly identify her as a boy. It’s wonderful to see her challenge societal norms.
Day 6:
As a reminder, we will close early on Tuesday in honor of the vernal equinox. Please collect your children by 9:45 a.m. Enjoy the first quarter moon!
Day 7:
Sophia is showing great ambition! She embodies the traits of a Capricorn, which is amusing given her Virgo nature. Have you thought about consulting an astrologer for her chart? Our assistant guide is certified in astrology, just for your information.
Day 8:
A little humor from the classroom today—Max used Sophia’s diapers to construct a fort. If you could send more, that would be appreciated! Meanwhile, we’re enjoying a “free-range” approach to her playtime.
Day 9:
A reminder about the Parent Education Night tomorrow at 4 p.m.! We will discuss “How to Say No Without Saying No” among other important topics. Don’t forget next month’s workshops on child-led potty training and crafting tiny chairs.
Day 10:
Apologies for the confusion regarding the rash! The full-body hives photo was meant for another family!
Did you receive the incident report? It seems that Jasper took Sophia’s shape sorter, leading her to react with a baby mum-mum treat. It resulted in a small scratch—please sign the form and maybe hold off on sending sharp snacks for now.
Day 11:
Hello to all Montessori Pumpernickel Class parents! A reminder that each family is responsible for completing 50 volunteer hours by the end of the week. If interested, we need help with various projects, including building custom bookshelves and leading a butterfly expedition.
Day 12:
Today was eventful! The toddlers executed their plan and temporarily locked us in a supply closet—what a surprise!
Day 13:
We have an important health notice: One of the children has presented with conjunctivitis, and we will be closing for thorough sanitizing and a cleansing ritual with sagebrush.
