Last chance to enroll for Parent-Child Class at Joliet Montessori

A child’s learning starts the moment he or she is born – and as any parent can tell you, that’s the moment the teaching begins in earnest.

Area families are invited to participate in an early learning program that’s designed just for the youngest kids. Joliet Montessori School (JMS) in Crest Hill is now taking registrations for the session beginning on Tuesday, September 17.

Head of School Heidi Geiger personally conducts these special classes, with lessons that get children on the path of lifelong learning from as early as infancy. Montessori education is built on the idea that all children have an innate appetite for learning and exploration, and this is a characteristic that appears in a child’s first hours. Properly nourished and supported, it will last a lifetime.

Held on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:30 to 11:00, JMS Parent-Child Class runs for eight weeks. The program features a rich curriculum of lessons and materials suitable for children from infancy to 36 months, accompanied by a parent, grandparent or other caregiver.

Enrollments can be made for classes on Tuesdays, Thursdays or both. For more information, contact Heidi Geiger at (815) 741-4180. Joliet Montessori School is located at 1600 Root Street in Crest Hill, on the corner of Root and Weber Road.

With the first day of class rapidly approaching, interested families are urged to enroll online.
