Springfield Montessori School

SPECIAL EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR

Family Meet & Greet

Family meet and greet

At Springfield, we believe strong school-to-home connections build a thriving community. Our Family Meet & Greet offers families the chance to get to know one another, meet our dedicated teachers, and explore the learning environment before the school year begins. It’s a gentle, welcoming start to your child’s Montessori journey. We can’t wait to meet you!

Back to School Night

Back to School Night is an opportunity for parents to experience the magic of the Montessori classroom through their child’s eyes. Teachers will guide you through the curriculum, share goals for the year ahead, and provide insights into how we support each child’s development. We look forward to partnering with you for a successful year.

Harvest Celebration

Our Harvest Festival is a joyful celebration of the season, filled with sensory exploration, nature-based crafts, and community connection. Children enjoy hands-on activities that honor the rhythms of the earth and the beauty of autumn. Families are encouraged to join us for fun and help us welcome fall with warmth and gratitude.

Community Helpers

Community Helpers Day is a hands-on experience that introduces children to the real-life heroes in our neighborhoods. Firefighters, police officers, and other professionals visit campus to share about their roles and tools. These special guests help children build appreciation for safety, service, and the many ways people contribute to our community.

Teacher Appreciation

At Springfield, we take time to celebrate the incredible educators who guide, inspire, and nurture our children every day. During Teacher Appreciation Week, students and families are encouraged to share gratitude through heartfelt notes, small tokens, or kind gestures. Together, we honor the dedication and love our teachers bring to the classroom all year long.

Cultural Faire

Our annual Cultural Faire is a week long celebration of the rich diversity within our community. Families are invited to share their heritage through food, dress, music, and storytelling. Children gain a deeper appreciation for the world abroad, fostering empathy, curiosity, and global awareness. We invite you to participate and help bring our community’s beautiful mosaic to life.

Kindergarten Graduation

Kindergarten Graduation is a meaningful milestone as our oldest students prepare to take their next big step. During the ceremony, children share what they’ve learned and receive recognition for their growth and accomplishments. Families are warmly invited to attend this heartfelt celebration of resilience, joy, and readiness for the journey ahead.

Birthday Celebrations

At Springfield, birthdays are celebrated in a thoughtful Montessori tradition that honors your child's unique journey. During circle time, the "Birthday Mat" is placed in the center, featuring a symbolic sun and twelve months surrounding it. The child walks around the sun, stopping at each birth month as the teacher shares stories and photos from that year. Families are invited to join the celebration.

Winter Sing-a-long

Our Winter Sing-a-long is a heartwarming tradition that brings the Springfield community together in song and spirit. Children perform seasonal melodies they’ve practiced with care, celebrating the joy and togetherness of the season. Families are invited to attend and join in the cheer as we wrap up the calendar year with warmth and harmony.

100th Day of School

The 100th Day of School is a playful milestone that celebrates growth, perseverance, and curiosity. Classrooms mark the day with creative counting activities, themed projects, and joyful reflection on all the learning that’s taken place. It’s a fun and meaningful way to recognize progress and community.

Lunar New Year

Springfield honors the Lunar New Year by exploring traditions from cultures around the world. Children learn about the zodiac, enjoy themed crafts, and may even participate in a dragon dance or try special snacks. Families are invited to contribute stories, clothing, or artifacts that enrich this cultural experience.

Teacher In Service Day

On this day, our classrooms are closed to children while our educators engage in professional development and collaboration. Teacher In-Service Days allow our team to grow in their practice, ensuring we continue to offer the highest quality Montessori education. We appreciate your support as we invest in lifelong learning for students and teachers alike.
