Women's History MonthMaria Montessori
The obstacles didn’t end there. While in University, Maria endured countless discriminatory expectations. Her father had to escort her to and from university, as it was socially unacceptable for a woman to walk alone in public. She was forced to wait outside of lecture halls while her male classmates chose their seats first, before she was allowed to enter as she was not supposed to interact with any of the men. After defying all systems built to keep her out, Maria became Italy’s first female doctor and she didn’t stop there. Her medical path led her to a psychiatric clinic, which sparked a flame for her to deeply explore the needs of children with learning disabilities, eventually investing much of her time into her then radical and controversial theory that the lack of support for mentally and developmentally disabled children was the cause of their failure to thrive. Maria used her understanding of science and systems, her deep care for those who were oppressed, her keen sense of scientific observation, and her passion for a better world to open her first school in 1907, Casa dei Bambini. Maria believed that children had the ability to educate themselves, and that the guides in their lives were the ones responsible for preparing the environment in which they could do so. 2 years later, Maria began training teachers in the approach she developed, and through many trials, tribulations, and iterations, here we are today, with her educational pedagogy still holding scientifically sound. As we are highlighting remarkable women during March, we at Montessori Children’s House would like to thank Dr. Montessori for envisioning a better world for the way children learn and for inspiring the life’s work of countless people around the world who want to do the same.

Reminders & RequestsDriveway Safety With the new staff parking area, we understand it can be tempting to drive around other cars in the roundabout. Please do not drive around other cars as it is a safety hazard. If you are pulling out of a parking space, please use your turn signal. Additionally, please remember to pay attention, listen, and be kind to our driveway staff. Their job is difficult and important! Welcome to Our New Registrar: Tyler Our previous Registrar, Allison, has finished her training with Tyler and will no longer be at MCH. We wish Allison the best in her journey with her family business. Tyler is now officially taking over the registrar position. If you have any questions, please reach out to him at tyler@mchkids.com. CDC Announcement: Is my Covid test still valid if it's expired? Since it takes time for test manufacturers to perform stability testing, the FDA typically authorizes at-home COVID-19 tests with a shelf-life of about four to six months from the day the test was manufactured, based on initial study results, and it may be extended later as additional data is collected. You can check the Expiration Date column of the List of Authorized At-Home OTC COVID-19 Diagnostic Tests to see if the expiration date for your at-home OTC COVID-19 test has been extended and how to find any new expiration date.
