The Montessori Parent Partnership Playbook 2026
The strongest Montessori communities are not built at enrollment.
They are built during the weeks and months that follow.
The first 90 days can determine whether families feel confident, connected, and engaged—or uncertain, disconnected, and overwhelmed.
Join Tim Seldin, Dr. Lindsey Pollock, and Navneet Rastogi for a thoughtful conversation on how Montessori schools can strengthen parent partnerships, improve retention, and build thriving school communities.
In this session, you'll learn:
• Why the first 90 days matter so deeply
• How Montessori schools can build parent confidence during transitions
• Strategies for creating stronger family engagement
• The role of parent education and community-building
• How schools can foster belonging and long-term partnership
• Practical ways to operationalize engagement and communication
Plus, see examples of how Montessori schools are supporting families through connected communication, engagement, and community-building systems.
