Mammolina Parent Association
Welcome To Our Community
The Mammolina Parent Association was established with the objective of strengthening our relationships with families and making the most of the wonderful support and great ideas that our diverse parent body brings to Mammolina Montessori International School. Parents, students and school leaders have the opportunity to work together to enrich students’ educational experience.
With a collaborative approach, parents, families and school leaders bring different perspectives and insights, have a stronger shared problem-solving approach and help to deepen the values of Montessori education.
Mission Statement:
The mission of Mammolina Parent Association (MPA) is to plan, organize and host meaningful school events, both social and educational, in a manner that truly enriches and supports the experience for all members, including students, families, staff and the board of Mammolina Montessori International School of Valencia. We share the Vision and Beliefs of MMIS:
Vision Statement:
Mammolina Montessori School’s vision is to apply the principles developed by Dr. Maria Montessori to create and sustain a safe, supportive, environment that offers rich opportunities to meet the academic, emotional, physical, and social needs of each child, and in which student(s) can become independent and responsible members of the world community while giving them freedom to explore, cooperate, create, and become lifelong learners.
Beliefs
Our mission is based on the belief that:
● Children have an innate love of learning
● Children have the ability to reach their full potential through their own efforts
● Children develop a vision of the universe in order to understand the unity that is in all things
The implementation of our mission depends upon a prepared environment which encourages:
● Time of exploration
● Opportunities for responsibility
● Love for our world and its diverse inhabitants
● A sense of gratitude for the special gifts which have been provided by others
● An awareness for gifts that they themselves may share with others
Class Representative
Each class is represented by a parent of that class for a one school year. The Class Representatives work with parents, teachers and the Parents Association to improve communication and effectiveness.
It is the role of the Class Representative to be a positive resource for their class by sharing school information, supporting the organization of school and class events and encouraging community building amongst families in their class and the school.
Parents, students and school leaders have the opportunity to work together to enrich students’ educational experience. The MPA is guided by the Constitution created by parents in collaboration with the school leaders. The MPA Constitution is supported by the clear Mission, Values and Beliefs stated above.
The members of the MPA are volunteers that act as a voice and a support for the whole community of families who are all members. The hope is the benefit of membership is felt by the children, families and school.
Take a look at some screenshots from the most recent MPA newsletter to get an idea of the events and communication that the parent association organizes.
