Why does Compass Star encourage such a high level of parental involvement?
We believe that strong communication between parents and the Guides is vital for a child to reach their potential in the classroom. By encouraging parent participation, through assisting in the classroom, volunteering at events, and joining the class on field trips, we give parents the opportunity to see the social dynamic and academic environment in which their child spends over six hours a day. Even if parents are only able to participate once or twice they will have a better understanding of Montessori and their child’s class when reviewing the parent communications sent home.
