The exhibit offers a look into the power of creative expression! Through different artists and art mediums, the children bring forth their marvelous imagination. As a central focus of Montessori elementary education, the independence of the child is encouraged and, because of this, the child has the space to develop his/her unique and personal interpretations of life.</p> <p>The children of Litchfield Montessori School are encouraged to be independent thinkers as well as good citizens of the world. As seen through their artwork, the children express their unique qualities as well as their love for the world around them.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>We look forward to your presence at our art show.&nbsp;</p> 01/09/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1288131/5-00-pm-art-show-opening-reception 01/09/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1338600/5-00-pm-first-friday-game-night 01/10/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1288132/3-30-pm-first-friday-after-school-playdate 01/10/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1288133/5-00-pm-first-friday-game-night 01/20/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1288136/dr-martin-luther-king-day-school-closed 01/30/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1288134/9-30-am-children-s-house-parent-child-day 01/30/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1288135/6-00-pm-elementary-work-night 02/07/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1288137/3-30-pm-first-friday-after-school-playdate 02/07/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1288138/5-00-pm-first-friday-game-night 02/17/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1288139/presidents-day-school-closed 02/28/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1288161/3-15-pm-dismissal-no-aftercare 02/28/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1288140/5-30-pm-wine-beer-tasting-and-silent-auction 03/10/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1288144/spring-break-school-closed 03/27/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1288141/3-30-pm-community-circle 04/03/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1288146/6-00-pm-elementary-project-night 04/04/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1288145/3-30-pm-spring-clean-up 04/04/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1288147/3-30-pm-first-friday-after-school-playdate 04/04/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1288148/5-00-pm-first-friday-game-night 04/18/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1288150/parent-teacher-conferences-school-closed 04/21/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1288149/3-30-pm-community-circle 05/02/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1288151/3-30-pm-first-friday-after-school-playdate 05/02/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1288152/5-00-pm-first-friday-game-night 05/08/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1288153/3-30-pm-community-circle 05/09/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1288154/grandparents-day 05/09/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1288155/12-30-pm-half-day-dismissal-no-aftercare 05/22/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1304153/6-30-pm-school-play-the-wonderful-wizard-of-oz 05/26/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1288156/memorial-day-school-closed 05/27/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1288157/field-day-the-village-at-boulder-ridge 06/05/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1288159/last-day-of-classes-no-aftercare 06/06/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1288160/10-30-am-moving-on-ceremony 08/23/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1317934/9-00-am-ypc-children-s-house-playdate 08/27/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1317935/5-30-pm-young-people-s-community-children-s-house-parent-meeting 08/27/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1317936/6-00-pm-all-school-parent-meeting 08/27/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1317937/6-30-pm-elementary-parent-meeting 08/28/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1317938/returning-children-s-house-phase-in-day-1 08/28/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1317939/returning-ypc-students-phase-in-day-1 08/28/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1317940/new-lower-elementary-students-phase-in-day-1 08/29/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1317941/returning-ypc-students-phase-in-day-2 08/29/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1317942/returning-children-s-house-phase-in-day-2 08/29/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1317943/new-lower-elementary-students-phase-in-day-2 09/01/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1317944/labor-day-school-closed 09/02/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1317946/8-30-am-all-returning-students-first-full-day-of-school 09/02/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1317947/new-upper-lower-elementary-students-first-full-day-of-school 09/02/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1317945/early-bird-aftercare-services-begin 09/02/2025 http://litchfieldmontessori.org/events/?id=1317948/new-children-s-house-students-phase-in-day-1 The phase-in schedule is a specially prepared time, which assists the very young child in developing his or her sense of trust.
