First Day of School

Lots of excitement and good work being done at Montessori del Mar, while children and staff welcome the new school year!

Welcome new students and Staff!

The Ribbon Cutting

In only one short summer, the parent body of MDM came together, rolled up their sleeves and created a beautiful new school for our lucky Montessori students. We have so much to be thankful for this year… and the efforts of so many to be thankful for. Here we are celebrating with old friends and new ones.

Alliance Redwoods

Good friends, sleeping bags and big trees.

The children of Montessori del Mar carpooled over to Occidental last June to enjoy a few days of fun and games amongst the giant Redwoods.

There were zip lines, bonfires, ice cream socials and campouts.

There was lots of fun, a little sunshine and plenty of good times.

A little of the forest even came to us.

This is our normal group picture.

And here we got a little crazy. 

A good time was had by all.

Chinese New Year Parade

Montessori del Mar and Sprouts Children's House took Mendocino by storm,

celebrating the Chinese New Year.

Our teachers know how to have a good time!

Dressed in red.

Waiting for the fun to start.
