New Gate School

A free six-week parent-child experience helping toddler parents understand development, strengthen connection, and parent with intention.
What if your child’s behavior is an invitation to understand them more deeply?
Join NewGate School for The Prepared Parent, a free six-week parent-child experience designed to help parents of toddlers develop a deeper understanding of child development and become more intentional, responsive partners in their child’s growth.
Rather than focusing on behavior management or quick parenting techniques, The Prepared Parent invites adults to slow down, observe, and begin seeing everyday experiences through a developmental lens.
Across six Saturday sessions, families will explore Montessori principles including observation, child development, the prepared adult, respectful guidance, independence, meaningful participation, and the prepared environment.
<h3>The Six-Week Journey</h3>
Week 1: Seeing the Child From reaction to observation.
Week 2: Understanding Development From “How do I fix this?” to “What is my child developing?”
Week 3: Preparing the Adult From reacting automatically to becoming a more intentional presence.
Week 4: Guiding With Connection and Intention From control to respectful guidance.
Week 5: Preparing the Environment From doing for children to creating opportunities for participation and independence.
Week 6: Integrating the Practice Bringing observation, reflection, and Montessori principles into everyday family life.
This is not a traditional parenting lecture. Parents and children will learn together through observation, participation, discussion, reflection, and hands-on experiences in a prepared Montessori environment.
<h3>Program Details</h3>
Saturdays, October 3 – November 7, 2026 NewGate School, Sarasota 9:45 AM – Coffee and connection 10:00 AM – Program begins
FREE · Limited to 10 families
The program content is designed for parents of toddlers. Children are welcome to attend with their family, including older siblings, so childcare is not necessary.
Registration reserves your family’s place for the full six-week series.
Reserve your family’s place today—space is intentionally limited to 10 families to support an interactive, personal experience.

Arts Advocates Gallery

Exhibit: WHY AI? The Digital Paintings of Elisabeth Trostli
Saturdays, October 3-31, 2-4 pm | FREE
Arts Advocates Gallery, The Crossings at Siesta Key mall, 3501 S. Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, FL 34239 | ArtsAdvocates.org
Elisabeth Trostli’s new exhibition, “WHY AI?,” explores artificial intelligence as a provocative new tool for expanding the artist’s imagination. The exhibition invites viewers to look beyond the technology itself and consider what it means to create art in an era when the boundaries between imagination, digital tools, and artificial intelligence are rapidly changing.
As an artist, illustrator, designer, and educator, Trostli has embraced digital technology as an extension of her artistic journey. Her newest paintings take that exploration further, incorporating AI alongside her own imagination, design sensibility, digital painting skills, and years of experience as an illustrator. Rather than treating AI as a replacement for the artist, Trostli views it as a new creative instrument—one that can suggest unexpected imagery, challenge preconceived ideas, and open doors to visual possibilities that might otherwise remain unexplored. The resulting works are not simply “AI images,” but finished digital paintings shaped through an ongoing dialogue between artist and machine.
“WHY AI?” also raises questions about authorship and originality. Who is the artist when a machine participates in the process? Where does the human creative act begin and end? Can technology inspire rather than diminish imagination?
