What Is an Open House?
An Open House is a set time for prospective parents and students to visit our school campus to learn more about Hershey Montessori School’s curriculum and culture. The Open House is structured to provide a better understanding of what a school has to offer. There are numerous benefits of attending these school open houses, many of which cannot be achieved by simply browsing a school’s website. Not only do open houses allow you to see the campus, but they also provide valuable insight into the programs and culture of each school.
What Are the Benefits of Attending an Open House?
Prospective families and students benefit greatly by attending a Hershey Montessori School Open House. There is only so much that can be learned from literature, browsing a website and its videos, or even peer reviews. An in-person visit provides greater understanding through physical experience.
When participating in a school Open House event:
- You have face-to-face dialogue with school personnel and sometimes students.
- You experience authentic classroom settings.
- You learn more about the curriculum and will be able to differentiate between Hershey Montessori School and other schools.
- You will gain a clearer understanding of the school’s values and its approach to education.
- You will learn what outcomes can be expected from our Montessori education model.
- You learn how the school communicates with you about your child’s educational progress.
- You will get a feel for the culture of the school.
- You will learn things that help you in your decision-making process.
- You are given the opportunity to ask questions.
- You will meet some really nice people! 🙂
What to Expect
You will be given a tour of the school building(s) and see our Montessori classrooms and our outdoor space that provides stress-reducing connections to nature. A presentation will be given, allowing time afterward for a question and answer session.
Takeaways
Attending a Hershey Montessori School Open House will inform and equip you to make the best decision for your child’s education. It will also allow you to visualize your child in the school setting and determine if it is a good fit. The feeling you get from being on campus will be an important indicator of whether the school is a good choice for your child and family. Ask questions, be open-minded, and trust your parental instincts.

Join us to learn more about ADD/ADHD and Sensory Processing issues with Dr. Tammy Gutierrez on Thursday, April 27th from 5:00 to 6:00 pm. This event will be held at our Concord Campus located at 10229 Prouty Road in Concord Township.
Many children struggle with processing information and paying attention, and it can be confusing and frustrating to figure out how best to help. Understanding what is
happening in the brain to cause these issues can help you find solutions that work for your child and family, whether that is lifestyle, behavioral therapies, medication (over the
counter or prescription), or a combination of these options. Every child and every family is unique, so we will discuss the entire menu of strategies to help each family find what
works best for them.
Dr. Tammy Gutierrez is a board-certified family physician with additional training in Functional Medicine. She has been helping children and families address these issues for more than 20 years, while also walking the walk as the parent of a child with visual processing issues. She will share a plethora of resources, tools, and tips to support you as you navigate your particular challenges in this area.
This event is open to everyone. Childcare is being offered to Hershey families with 24-hour advance RSVP. Those who wish to attend may RSVP by calling 440-357-0918 or emailing the number of people attending to RSVP@hershey-montessori.org.

The event takes place Saturday, May 6th, 2023 from 5:30 pm – 10:30 pm, at The Everly in Mentor, Ohio.

Dr. Montessori made it clear that the mind of the child at the elementary level is working in an exciting new manner. It is very different than we experienced in children from 3-6 years of age. These natural characteristics require the adults who surround them to give support and guidance creatively and appropriately. Pat Ludick will speak about these new characteristics and how we respond, with intention, to this important period of human development at the Elementary Levels at Hershey Montessori School.
Patricia Ludick is in her thirty-seventh year of working in Montessori education and was one of the planners and contributors in the early Montessori adolescent movement in the 1980s. Pat has consulted with public and private Montessori elementary and adolescent programs, presented at conferences, conducted workshops, and has guided teachers many summers at the AMI Montessori Orientation to Adolescent Studies. Pat holds an AMI diploma, a certification in special education, a Master’s degree in curriculum and instruction, and a certification from John Carroll University in Spiritual Direction. Pat has most recently been named an AMI auxiliary 12-18 trainer. She is the mother of 5 grown children and the grandmother of 12.
This event is open to all who RSVP. Childcare is available to Hershey families who RSVP.
Please RSVP to rsvp@hershey-montessori.org or call 440-357-0918.
