MPS Montessori Summit

Due to the ongoing pandemic, we will not be able to hold the Montessori Summit this year. 

However, we warmly invite new incoming parents to visit us virtually at the upcoming Kindergarten Enrollment Fair on February 6 and 20 to learn about the Montessori program. 

A link to the virtual fair will be available soon at mpsmke.com/enroll.

If you'd like to learn more, the information below reflects the Montessori Summit event from prior years.
