The event at Bambini Montessori School began with a session on respect and peace. Parents received practical strategies for teaching these values, focusing on empathy, understanding, and acceptance. The discussion emphasized respect as a deep recognition of each child’s individuality and dignity. At the same time, peace was framed as an inner state and a social goal. Parents were encouraged to foster self-discipline, conflict-resolution skills, and a sense of responsibility, aiming to create a supportive and harmonious home environment.

After this session, parents received an overview of recent updates to Bambini Montessori School’s programs and discussed their impact on classroom activities and student development. They also met the teachers, gaining insight into their roles and how they will support their children’s learning journey.
