What is most important in the early and on-going education of a child? We'll spend this hour with André Roberfroid, President of Association Montessori Internationale and former UNICEF Deputy Executive Director for Programme and Strategic Planning. He's in town for the Educateurs sans Frontières Third International Assembly, which ended today.

English Translation:
Now back here in the Metroplex, a school in the Bachman Lake community has become an example for institutions throughout the country and beyond our borders as well, and many would like to copy what is being done here. This school is concerned not only with the education of the children, but also with that of the parents, and it offers courses for low income parents. Educateurs sans Frontières and members of the Association Montessori visited the school today to learn a little more about this innovative project, which is helping so many families.
Diana Gutierrez, a mother who is benefitting from the programme: “She comes to my house once a week, for one hour, and sometimes longer, to work with my daughter. She talks with us about the plan for each week, and how we can work with our daughter.”
Many Hispanic families have benefitted from this unique programme.
