The Atrium is like a retreat house for the young child. The word “atrium” actually means “portico, or porch entrance to a large house.”
The Atrium was a term given to this space by Maria Montessori. It was chosen because, in the ancient church, the atrium was a gathering space between the Church proper and the street.
The Atrium has a similar purpose for our children, as it is a place to help them enter into full, conscious, and active participation in the liturgical and communal life of the Church.
Can you make a monetary donation to build the Atrium (Montessori classroom)?
