Over 100 Montessori teachers, administrators, and parents from 6 states joined us for a day of workshops focusing around continuing our own education and understanding of Montessori practices. There were many workshops to choose from, with sessions led by inspiring life-long Montessorians including Marie Conti, Kathy Minardi, and Jen Cort!
