- Ongoing teacher training and professional development
- High standards in safety, curriculum, and classroom environments
Minnesota Parent Aware
As part of our commitment to educational excellence, eligible Sonnet Montessori schools participate in Minnesota’s Parent Aware Quality Rating and Improvement System.
Parent Aware evaluates programs in key areas including:
- Curriculum and school readiness
- Classroom environment
- Teacher qualifications and ongoing professional development
- Family engagement
- Health and safety practices
Parent Aware-rated programs voluntarily go beyond basic licensing requirements through additional training, coaching, and continuous quality improvement efforts, giving families added confidence in the quality of care and education their child receives.
Understanding Parent Aware Ratings
Each Parent Aware rating level builds upon the previous one, helping families better understand the quality practices and standards a program has achieved. Participation reflects a commitment to continuous improvement and providing children with a strong foundation for future learning and success.
