A note to interested families
Prior to state licensure, Plymouth Forest Montessori will provide educational materials, access to Camp Anokijig facilities, administrative services and activities coordination for small group childcare providers. During this start-up phase, Rachel Blessing and Emily Fritsch are the childcare providers and are members of Plymouth Forest Montessori. Each participating child will sign on to be supervised by one person. These providers work with Plymouth Forest Montessori to access the facilities, materials, and programming. Each provider is committed to the mission, vision and policies outlined by Plymouth Forest Montessori. This model allows for our educational programming to continue with limited enrollment. In the near future, we hope to gain our licensure and take on more students.
If you have any questions please contact us at plymouthforestmontessori@gmail.com
