Come join your fellow Montessorians at Park Road Montessori in Charlotte for the fifth annual MANC conference. We'll start with an Administrators Summit on Friday, October 6 in the afternoon. Then on Saturday, October 7, we'll have a full day of workshops and presentations for everyone. Registration is open for either or both of those days.
