What do parents want to know about a school? What do parents want to know about their child’s education? What do parents want to know…period? These are the burning questions that keep me up at night, so I love love LOVE sending out surveys to our communicative Sunrise Montessori families! They really are the best around. 🙂 Are you curious, too?
We possibly have an answer (or answers!) for inquiring minds in this week’s blog post. (A little background first: We value the feedback and opinions of our families so much that we send out an anonymous survey at least 3 times per year. The first is delivered within the first month and then just after our bi-annual Parent-Teacher Conferences.) We rely on the survey results to uncover what our Sunrise Montessori parents are eager to know more about and how we can better serve them and this survey’s feedback was as varied as ever! From asking about Montessori topics to child development, the sky was the limit.
As we read through the dozens and dozens of comments, the realization dawned that the lion’s share of their questions were answered on our blog page, so what follows is a list of a few of our blog post titles plus the specific survey comment. While this isn’t nearly all of our survey comments or even close to all of our blog posts (investigate our other 80+ blog posts for even more topics!), we hope reading what is linked below scratches that itch of how to parent your child more easily. Happy learning!
