The Cobb School Parent Coffee on January 22 nd at 8:30am Voices from Higher Education Parent Education is integral to The Cobb School experience. Since the school’s beginning in1974, I have made Parent Education an essential element of my work. I often say Montessori is preparation for life. It’s a simple expression and seemingly self- explanatory, but the truth is it often creates more questions than answers. This year’s Parent Education Series calls on the help of others to answer questions pressing on our parents. One is How do I prepare my child for life? I am grateful to all of them for giving of their time and expertise and grateful to our parents for attending these important Parent Coffees.
