Happy New Year

The New Year often means a time of reflection and a reaffirmation of our priorities and goals. It can mean a fresh start. It can give us a chance to breathe, if only for a moment, before we roll up our sleeves and begin again.

There are tens of thousands of Montessori teachers all over the world that have dedicated themselves to leading the children, and therefore our future, to becoming a more peaceful and humane place. For a few brief minutes, while we read this newsletter, we can remember that we are not alone in our work.

Feel free to send in your ideas and participate in supporting each other. We hope this publication can be a resource that offers ideas, new direction and strength.

To the thousands of teachers, parents and children who give of themselves daily and are pioneering quality Montessori classrooms…we wish the very best and happiest New Year.
