In Montessori schools across the country, one of the biggest challenges is retaining children through the full three-year Primary cycle. As universal pre-K expands and families explore new options, many Montessori leaders are navigating tough conversations about why the Kindergarten year is so essential — and how to inspire families to stay.
In this free Montessori Leadership Town Hall, we’ll dive deep into why the Third Year matters academically, socially, and developmentally, and explore practical strategies for supporting parents in making confident, informed decisions.
In this session, we’ll cover:
- The unique developmental leaps that occur in the Third Year
- How Kindergarteners strengthen the entire classroom community
- Ways to clearly communicate Montessori outcomes to parents
- What research tells us about continuity and child success
- Practical retention strategies that build trust and long-term commitment
- How to support families who are unsure, anxious, or considering leaving
This session is designed to be highly actionable, honest, and grounded in the realities of Montessori leadership. Whether retention is a long-standing challenge or a new one for your school, you’ll walk away with tools, language, and approaches you can use right away.
Join us for a collaborative hour of learning, reflection, and community support as we work together to help families understand the true power of the Third Year — and the lifelong impact of Montessori.
