Children's Garden Montessori School

Parent Meeting - What's Next? School after Children's Garden 10am & 2pm
2023-10-17 10:00 - 14:00 (America/Denver)
The time to think about where your child will go to school after Children’s Garden is always sooner than you think. There are lots of public and independent schools to consider. What should you look for and ask? While we can’t tell you the best place for your child and family, we can help prepare you for the process.
Join us upstairs at CG at either time. Tuesday, October 17th, 10-11am & 2-3pm
