Creating a personal schedule helps YOU, US, and YOU!  Planning your day ahead of time will:
1) Leaves YOU more time for connecting with fellow Montessorians during the conference
2) Allow US to help determine the best room size for each session
3) Because of #2, increase YOUR chances of safely and comfortably attending every session you planned on (without sitting on the floor)!

PLEASE CHECK BACK FOR FINAL TIMES AND ROOM ASSIGNMENTS OF EACH SESSION CLOSER TO THE START OF THE CONFERENCE!

Mindful Art in Montessori Classrooms
Saturday February 22, 2025 10:45am - 12:15pm CST

Social and emotional learning is a cornerstone of Montessori and child development as a whole. Finding ways to incorporate therapeutic art into daily activities can help support this development. Art Therapist and Lead Toddler Teacher, Mykela Nowicki has helped to build a mindful art program at Brickton, helping staff integrate art into their classrooms to support the whole child. Please join us in learning more about art in the Montessori classrooms of all ages and take part in a hands on activity that can be implemented in your own environments. You don't need a degree in art therapy to use art in a purposeful manner!
