"Let's all give three cheers to the Montessori Foundation for producing Tomorrow's Child! What a gift this is to schools as a tool for educating our parent communities and increasing their appreciation for the rich fabric of the Montessori education they have chosen for their children"

Mimi Glass, Montessori educator
Garden Gate Montessori School

"I wanted to let you know that I received my first issue of Tomorrow's Child. I was very excited to read the articles specifically addressing the materials and lesson that my son is now doing at pre-school. It has helped me to gain a better appreciation and perspective as my youngest starts school,.I look forward to my next issue!"

Crystal Cavanaugh
Parent,Chicago, IL



"I just wanted to say what a great issue! We provide a copy to each of our parents at our
school, and I truly hope they all read, digest the information included, and apply it to their family life. The articles provide me with some ideas to reflect upon and apply to my own life and classroom as well.Congratulations on a job well done!"

Joan Ryan, Elementary teacher

Tomorrow's Child the Montessori Foundastion's magazine for Montesdoti fsmilird, has a special offer going on through the end of April: the early bird discount standing bulk subscription price is $13 per subscription, for subscriptions of 50 copies or more. Our normal bulk order cost is $15 a family, compared to an individual subscription price of $25.. .

Tomorrow's Child's articles cover infancy through Montessori high school, while remembering the majority of families in most Montessori schools have children in the Primary level.

Tomorrow's Child: is published five times a year. We offer Montessori schools the ability to purchase subscriptions at a low cost.

Tomorrow's Child is a great tool to orient new families, support parent education, encourage parents to support the school and apply some Montessori ideas at home, and to overcome parent tendencies to drift away to other schools as their children get older.

We publish in September, November, January, March, and May. Orders normally arrive about mid-month, shipped by UPS. You will want to make a note to watch out for them and let us know by the 3rd week if they haven't arrived. UPS allows us to track them easily. When they come, check to see that your count is correct, and we suggest adding a note from the Head of School paper clipped to the front cover, drawing parent attention to something in the issue that you think is important, and reminding them that this is not just another local family magazine.

To subscribe, just prepare a note and mail it with your check, or fax it with credit card information to us our address below before April 30, 2006.

School name
Person to whom packages should be addressed
