Bilingual Montessori Elementary Information Night

Canvas & Cupcake KitsapArt School of the Arts

5:30 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 24. Maria Montessori was one of the most inﬂuential educators of the 20th century. Many of her ideas about children and their development are now widely accepted, and Montessori schools thrive throughout the world.

The Montessori curriculum inspires students to become independent learners who appreciate and understand their world. Our students demonstrate joy in their learning! Scholarships available! Open to the public. Bilingual Montessori, 5550 Tracyton Blvd, Bremerton. (360) 377-0102 for information or RSVP for free child care.
