Speaking with teachers or administration
Pre-booking conversations via phone or e-mail is essential as we have many families and want to ensure we can focus on your needs. If you would like to chat with your child's teaching team, please book an appointment in advance through office@aspenhillmontessori.ca. Drop-in visits may not be able to be accommodated as our full attention must remain on the children. Thanks for your understanding!
