PNMA Invites our members and friends to a full day together exploring our vision for effective and engaging school communication with our families and supporters.  We are planning a day of connection and conviviality to enhance our community and share our experience of creating the messaging and responsiveness of our schools to the parents of children we serve.

Meet Jesse McCarthy; Founder of MontessoriEducation.com

Jesse McCarthy began his career as a young assistant at a small private school in California, and now 20+ years later he leads an organization that helps parents and teachers around the world to achieve inevitable success with children — happily and without stress.

PNMA presents Jesse McCarthy for a morning session about communication and family life.  Parents in our schools are welcome to attend in person or virtually by registering for this event.

Schools are encouraged to invite parents to join us November 8 for our 8:30 breakfast buffet and a Morning Keynote Session 9:30-11:30.

Parents have the option of attending with special guest seating for the Keynote and to network during our breakfast buffet  OR to use a Zoom link during the Keynote.

We intend for the Zoom link to support those who cannot travel and also small watch parties who share the morning at a home or school.  Parents are partners in the school mission and our topic is relevant to both parents and educators.

The registration for this event is an online form with a code: JM118

Attend the morning from 8:30-11:30 for $79

Log into our Zoom link from 9:30-11:30 for $29 per person - a host may register other guests.

Please register online to receive the Zoom link for this event. 

Bring home what works in the Montessori classroom and fits your family.  "How do you get my kid to behave so well?"  Every Montessori teacher has been asked this question.

This will be a fun morning with some lively discussion so bring your questions, struggles and goals for communicating with your child.
