In collaboration with Penfield Montessori, this historic event was presented by the Theodor Hellbrüegge Foundation and sponsored by Montessori Medical Partnership for Inclusion.

The conference addressed how to support children in culturally diverse communities, the role of developmental psychology, approaches to inclusion of children with social, emotional and cognitive differences and much more!

    Penfield Montessori make-up days update: Our last day of school will be Friday, June 14th. We will have a field day and then an all-school family picnic.

This information has been sent home in the Thursday folder as well. Please contact the front desk with any questions: 414-999-2330. Thank you!

    Penfield Montessori is proud to be one of the growing number of public Montessori schools in the U.S. Learn more about the Montessori Method and how it is helping to close the achievement gap:

    Dr. Montessori originally developed her pedagogical approach for low-income children in Rome. Unfortunately, in the U.S., the Montessori model was largely relegated to private schools. However, the spread of public school choice has led to a rapid growth in the number of public Montessori schools.
