About Us
Our Mission
The mission of the Village Montessori Parent Association is to create an inclusive and welcoming environment that enhances the VMS experience for every family. We are driven by our core values of community, connection, and compassion, and we endeavor to uphold these values through various avenues.
What We Do
What Families Are Saying
Building Community
We understand that a thriving educational community extends beyond the classroom walls. By organizing and hosting a diverse range of social events, we provide
opportunities for VMS families to come together, forge meaningful connections, and nurturelasting friendships. Through these gatherings, we hope to create an extended family that shares in the joys and challenges of raising confident and compassionate individuals.
Supporting Educators
Recognizing the pivotal role that educators play in shaping our children’s lives, we are dedicated to showing our heartfelt appreciation. Through initiatives that celebrate and support our teachers and staff, we aim to foster a collaborative partnership between parents and educators, creating an environment where learning flourishes.
Empowering Giving
We believe in giving back to both our immediate community and the broader world. Through charitable works and initiatives, we encourage our children to develop empathy, kindness, and a sense of responsibility. By engaging in acts of service, we instill values that transcend the classroom and prepare our children to become active, compassionate global citizens.
Open Invitations
Every parent is a valued member of our association, and we extend a warm invitation to join us in our mission. Regular meetings provide a platform for open dialogue, idea sharing, and collective decision-making. By coming together, we can tap into the diverse perspectives that enrich our community and ensure that every voice is heard.
