Lectures are offered to all parents of children who are less than five years of age, and focus on key aspects of Montessori theory, such as independence, the development of the hand, and language acquisition.  Practical sessions are intended for parents and their children who are less than 18 months of age.  During practical sessions, Mrs. Lillard, Mrs. Jessen, and Mrs. Kelley work with each parent/child couple, giving developmentally appropriate advice and attending to parent questions and concerns.
