Would You Let Your Child Walk Alone?
In Japan, It Happens Every Day.
Welcome to Culture Shock…Imagine packing your elementary school student off from home near 4S Ranch with a box lunch and a mass transit pass five days a week—alone without parents, nannies, guardians, or a device with GPS.
Encouraging a Healthy Technology Diet
Managing children's screen time is becoming increasingly tricky as technology options grow. At one time, TV ruled—and there were far fewer networks and media options. Today, kids have smartphones, tablets, laptops, electronic games, and many age-appropriate but inappropriate TV programs. Therefore, parents should address the Rules of Engagement with their children concerning all this content before allowing them access to the use of these devices.
Caution: Over-Parenting May Be Hazardous to Your Child’s Health!
The biggest difference between our Montessori school and a traditional elementary school is this: we focus on teaching your child with a ‘learn at your own speed’ approach without regard to grades and test scores.
Education is about expanding children’s knowledge and understanding of the world. Our goal is to guide each student in an individualized way among peers to foster enlightenment and understanding. Our Montessori Method develops your child’s independence so they can monitor and manage their world themselves.

Montessori Elementary vs. Traditional School
There are many ways that Montessori elementary education differs from traditional Education. Montessori education is individualized, self-paced, and interdisciplinary. The children are encouraged to be independent, reasoning, and self-motivated people. But why are our classrooms run this way?
Practical Life in Elementary
Some parents have asked me in the past if any form of practical life exercises exist in Montessori elementary. They don't see the prepared and color-coordinated exercises they so admired in the primary classroom. I tell them that practical life is not gone, just transformed.
Who is the Elementary Child?
Learning How to Think
The Montessori Elementary program offers an unparalleled opportunity for the ongoing development of your child nurtured in the Primary program. He is entering a new period in his life; this creative, social, creative child needs a planned environment and comprehensive course of study to support his burgeoning independence and potential.
