Volunteering

The Maria Montessori School is a small, non-profit school with a strong emphasis on community. A collaborative effort that involves parents and staff is imperative to the success of the school and its efforts to maintain an affordable tuition. Active participation is an ideal way to get to know other families, assist in your child's development and promote the school. By helping to supply, clean, repair, and/or paint materials, you will experience your child's school environment first hand.

Each family is responsible for 40 hours of volunteer work each year, or the equivalent payment of $500 due at the time of acceptance or re-enrollment.

Opportunities for work are published well in advance so that parents can accommodate their volunteer hours as conveniently as possible. Volunteer hours may be fulfilled by any member of the family, or by friends who wish to help on your behalf.

Parents keep track of hours in the volunteer binder located in the office.
