Fraser Woods Montessori School will host its April open house for parents of prospective students at 10 am on Saturday, April 18, at the school, 173 South Main Street.

Faculty, administrative staff, and the director of admissions will be available to conduct guided tours and provide information about the school’s parent/child class, four-day or five-day toddler and preschool programs, as well as full-day kindergarten through middle school programs.
