Welcome to the Austin Montessori School 2026 Appreciation Celebration! 💛

Each year, the AMS Parent Association brings our community together to celebrate the incredible guides, assistants, and staff who care for and support our children every day. This end-of-year gifting fund is a meaningful way for families to express their gratitude, and the impact is truly felt.

Take a moment to read their stories and see how much these contributions mean. If you’d like to participate, donations are open May 4–8 via the link in our bio.

Schools make Montessori training possible:
Shoutout to Austin Montessori School for welcoming many MINT students for observation and practice teaching. Founded in 1967, they have been a longstanding part of the Texas Montessori community. Austin Montessori School, we are grateful for your support of Montessori teacher education!

Join us for breakfast at our Sunset Trail campus! ☀️

On Friday, April 10, at 8:30 AM, spend the morning in conversation with Nadine Gardener, AMS Director of Elementary Programs, and Gina Applegate, AMS Director of Inclusion and Support. Nadine and Gina will explore how to support your child at home through the 3 Rs: reading, responsibilities, and the real-life rhythms of home-school work.

Together, they’ll share practical insights for nurturing developing readers, sustaining strong reading habits for fluent readers and older children, and fostering independence and responsibility through meaningful “home”-work. Rooted in both their professional expertise and their experience as Montessori parents, Nadine and Gina invite you into a thoughtful, engaging conversation shaped by your questions, reflections, and shared experiences as a community.

Join us for a hands-on Positive Discipline workshop for parents and caregivers of children ages 0–8, led by certified Positive Discipline educators Jinny Gonzalez and Sveta Pais.

Learn practical tools to understand behavior, build stronger relationships, and foster cooperation, confidence, and independence—through interactive discussion and real-life practice.
