If you want to see what a true community looks like, just watch a Montessori classroom on the last day of school. ✨ . Today’s Friendship Necklace Ceremony was a beautiful reminder that the bonds formed here run deep. Cheers to a beautiful year, and to the friendships that made it so special! . #Montessori #FriendshipNecklace #EndOfTheYear #ClassroomCulture #EarlyChildhood MovingOn⁠

Oh darling, don’t you ever grow up...” 🥹✨ . Tonight, our second year students took a beautiful step forward at our Moving Up ceremony. From their very first Montessori practical life lessons to this big milestone, watching them grow is the greatest privilege. . Thank you to all the families who turned out to celebrate these amazing students! 🤍 . #montessori #MovingUpCeremony #DontYouEverGrowUp #MontessoriKids #haverhill

The Case of the Living vs. Non-Living! 🕵️‍♂️🌱🐛 What makes something alive? Is a caterpillar living? What about a fallen leaf or a smooth pebble? 🔍 . In the Montessori classroom, we love taking learning outdoors, allowing children to touch, explore, and connect directly with science in real life. . #Montessori #EarlyLearning #haverhill #naturedetectives #handsonlearning🙌🏻

It’s all about the “Pincer Grip” ✍️ . Ever wonder why Montessori classrooms have activities like spinning tops, tweezing, and tracing activities? It’s to support indirect preparation for writing. Before a child ever grips a pencil, they need to build the muscle strength and coordination to hold it. These types of activities strengthen the three fingers needed for a perfect pincer grip and help build hand-eye coordination as well as muscle-memory for letter shapes. . By the time a child picks up a pencil, their hands already know exactly what to do. . #Montessori #EarlyLearning #ChildDevelopment #haverhill #FineMotorSkills IntentionalPlay

Don’t stop believin’ in the power of a good cup of tea. 🎻🫖 . We just wrapped up our 8th Annual Spring Tea and to say it was a success is an understatement. From the first pour to the last laugh, the energy was unmatched. Thank you to our incredible community for showing up, dressing up, and celebrating eight years of this beautiful tradition with us! 🌟🌷 . #DontStopBelieving #VitaminStringQuartet #SpringTea #EightYearsAndCounting #haverhill

From the first delicate crocus peeking through the soil to the focused hands at work inside, our classroom is buzzing with the energy of a new season!

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Birch Tree parent, Aimee Tsakirellis, on receiving the Humanity in Action Award from the this morning. We loved learning more about the meaningful outreach her family — both personally and through — has contributed to the City of Haverhill. We’re proud to have you as part of our Birch Tree community!
