Description

Philosophy Montessori is an approach to education with the fundamental belief that a child learns best within a social environment that supports and respects each individual child’s development. Dr. Maria Montessori was the creator of what is called the Montessori Method of education, based this approach on her scientific observations of young children’s behavior. As one of the first female physicians to graduate from the University of Rome, Montessori became involved with education as a doctor treating children labeled as mentally handicapped. Then, in 1907 she was invited to open a child-care center for the children of desperately poor families in the San Lorezno slums of Rome. She called it the Casa dei Bambini (Children’s House) and based the program on her observations that young children learn best in a homelike setting, filled with developmentally appropriate materials that provide experiences contributing to the growth of self-motivated, independent learners. A primary goal of our Montessori program is to help each child reach full potential in all areas of life. His or her physical, emotional, social, aesthetic, spiritual, and cognitive needs and interests are considered inseparable and equally important. Our Montessori curriculum, under the direction of a specially educated teacher provides the resources and atmosphere for exploration and discovery, allows students to experience the joy of learning, promotes the development of self-esteem and fosters respect for ones self, for others and for the environment. About Me As a Montessori trained teacher, I am a facilitator of learning. As such, I design the environment, guide, am a role model demonstrator, and meticulous observer and recorder of each student’s behavior and growth. We are dedicated to instilling a love of learning. I hold a BA Degree in Liberal and Civic Studies, Early Childhood Education Credits, as well as an American Montessori Teaching Credential. We are not only knowledgeable and experienced but are extremely loving and nurturing. -CPR and 1st Aid Trained About the Home Day Care Hours Monday to Friday 7:30 am - 3:30 pm (additional before/after care) Located near Facebook Ages Infants/ Toddlers (limited space) and Preschool Languages English and Spanish Food 2 Balanced Snacks Curriculum includes: Language, Math, Art, Pre-Reading, Pre- Writing, Gardening, Care of Self and the Environment, Grace and Courtesy, Cooking and music/dancing!
