Parkside Montessori Playgroup

"My daughter started Parkside Montessori playgroup this past Winter when she was just 11 months. I’m blown away by the tremendous growth I’ve noticed since attending. Much of what she loves doing in playgroup we now do at home (eat from a little table with cups and plates, sing her favorite songs from group, limit the toys on the shelf and display ones that encourage her state of development) I could go on forever about the benefits my child receives from being part of such a wonderful Montessori playgroup but I also want to note how important it has been for myself (and for any care giver). The group provides an instant community and as we spend more and more time together, a beautiful trust and support has grown among the children and all the caregivers. My daughter will grab hands with another caregiver, or sit in another adults lap and enjoy a story. This village feeling is priceless. It takes a village and Moira creates such beautiful one!"

"We have really enjoyed our playgroup days with Moira! She is an incredible teacher!"

"We have absolutely loved the weekly Parkside Playgroups! It is such a calm and welcoming experience. Moira was wonderful with my daughter, always taking time to explain new activities and encourage/model the Montessori approach - but also always accepting and allowing my high energy daughter to move at her speed. There was always new “work” each week but also the same favorites for my daughter to look forward to. Playgroup is now our favorite activity each week and we are looking forward to joining future sessions!"

"Both our children have done toddler mornings with Moira, the guide at Parkside Montessori. We ALL learned so much! Our boys developed their autonomy and independence in a really loving and supportive environment, and my husband and I learned a ton about how to support them at home and give them space to do things on their own. I can’t recommend joining this community enough!!"
