Montessori

My children have been in a Montessori school now for 3 years and the growth, maturity, independence, and individualism I've seen in my children amazes me every day. My children are opposite from each other but the one thing they have in common is how big their hearts are, their Montessori education has nurtured that gift in so many ways. To see them love learning, to see them achieve their potential, to see them understand what consequences come with their actions makes me so proud as a parent. It's amazing to see how much respect they have for their environment, their peers, and their community. I recently had the opportunity to see my 4th grader teach a lesson to her peers with so much ease and it made me think how many times as a child I would have taken the initiative to do something like that without being asked. Their teachers have nurtured every little thing they are interested in, they teach them independence (with limits), hands-on learning, and how to put those skills to use every day.
