Our Events Calendar is sponsored by...
What is AMI? Why is it essential for a Montessori school to be recognized and accredited by AMI? AMI/USA administers the AMI Recognition program for Montessori Schools in the United States. Among the many benefits of AMI Recognition, the most significant is the association with AMI, the international organization founded by Maria Montessori in 1929, which resides in Amsterdam, Netherlands. AMI Recognition provides an assurance to families, prospective staff and the community at large of adherence to AMI standards. Authenticity is everything.
Find out more by attending their next Open House on Saturday, March 1 from 10am-12pm. No sign up required!

5 Things To Do When You Need to Get Out of the House
Throwing it back to a blog I wrote like 3 years ago but is still applicable today!
Here's an excerpt:
"What do you do when your kids complain that they’re bored? Or do you ever have those days when you feel like you’ve just GOT to get out of the house or you’re gonna scream? Orrrr maybe you feel like all you’ve been doing since you woke up is scream and you know you gotta get a change of scenery before the entire crew has a meltdown. Where do you go?
I find it so easy to get in the car and head to “run an errand” at a store like Target, Fred Meyer, the Dollar Store – where we wander around and end up spending money on random things we didn’t know we needed. You know how it goes – you run in for one thing and end up with a trunk full of stuff. Oops. We also seem to be motivated by treats. “If you guys clean up the toy room we can get a special treeeeeat!” Tell me I’m not the only one who uses this trick!?
It got me thinking… our need to get out of the house always ends up with me spending money! What can we do that gets us a change of scenery without breaking the bank?"
