Montessori

"Our school was lucky enough to have Donohue spend a full day with us: a morning observing the classroom, mid-day offering suggestions to faculty and an evening parent night. The teachers felt supported, connected and inspired in a meaningful way. And now, months later, parents are still talking about Donohue's lecture as the moment they finally understood the Montessori method in a practical way. Thank you for sharing your insights, experience and wisdom with us."
