At Montessori School of Westfield, we believe that a child’s development thrives when home and school work hand in hand. This page serves as a resource hub for parents to stay actively involved in their child’s educational journey. Here, you will find a library of documents, articles, and tools designed to strengthen the connection between parents and the school, offering insights and strategies to support your child’s growth both in and out of the classroom. Whether you’re looking for guidance on parenting techniques, ways to enhance your child’s learning at home, or information on how to engage with the school community, this page has you covered.
