What type of food can I bring for my child's birthday? Parents are asked to bring a small treat to share with their child's friends in their class. This can NOT be a homemade item, it must be store bought. (MN Dept of Health regulation) Please discuss with your child's teacher before bringing anything, so we are aware. If you want to bring hats and party favors you may do this as well, but please discuss with the teacher before you do.

What type of clothing should my child be wearing? Children can wear comfortable simple clothes. We ask that the shoes they wear are Velcro type shoes as this assists the teachers in preparing the children for playtime, changing, etc. Giving the teachers more time to spend with the children as a group.
How is the school kept clean and disinfected? When parents first walk into American Montessori one of the first things that they notice is how clean the school is. Teachers take a lot of time during the day to keep the school continuously clean and disinfected. The table tops are cleaned before and after serving meals with a diluted bleach solution (According to state regulations). Shelves and materials are cleaned weekly. Soft toys are washed weekly. Any equipment or materials that have been in a child's mouth, is disinfected right away. Teachers vacuum consistently throughout the day and the carpet is shampooed 2 - 3 times a year. Bathrooms are cleaned constantly throughout the day and then a final cleaning in the evening with diluted bleach solution. We strive to keep our school clean for you and your child.
