The Montessori Movement: Evolving with Purpose.

Rooted in Legacy. Growing Toward Tomorrow.

Presented by AMI/USA, a proud affiliate of AMI

All are welcome to attend our annual conference, a three-day professional development gathering. Join us to explore the child’s developmental journey and importance of conditions needed at each stage of growth. Engage in discussions about how to be a prepared adult that helps children move confidently through each phase of development. Share your observations on new skills and sensitivities that children gain at each stage. Community is key to making the most of the Montessori educational experience!

"To have a vision of the cosmic plan, in which every form of life depends on directed movements which have effects beyond their conscious aim, is to understand the child's work and be able to guide it better."

Dr. Maria Montessori | The Absorbent Mind, Clio Press, p. 135
