Preparing for the start of a new school year may be stressful for both teachers and parents. But it can be entertaining. Perhaps you're preparing to bring your child to their first day of Montessori. Perhaps your child is a seasoned third-year student who is ready to take command of their classroom. Whether it's the first day of your child's first year, their second, or their third, it's a good idea to plan ahead of time how to make the transition as seamless as possible.
