The Modern Montessori Parent Onboarding Playbook 2026

​For many Montessori schools, enrollment receives enormous attention - but what happens after a family joins often shapes the relationship far more deeply.

​The first few months of onboarding can determine whether families feel connected, confident, and aligned with the school community - or overwhelmed, uncertain, and disengaged.

​Join Tim Seldin, Dr. Lindsey Pollock, and Navneet Rastogi for a thoughtful conversation on how Montessori schools can create more intentional onboarding experiences that help families transition into school life with clarity, trust, and confidence.

​In this session, we’ll explore:
• Why the first 90 days matter for parent engagement and retention
• How Montessori schools can create a “prepared environment” for families
• Common onboarding gaps that create confusion or disconnect
• Communication practices that build stronger parent partnerships
• Supporting families through classroom and program transitions
• How schools can operationalize thoughtful onboarding workflows and engagement systems

​Plus, see practical examples of how schools are modernizing parent onboarding and communication experiences through connected workflows and digital tools.
