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.

Freedom... AND Responsibility

Dr. Montessori tells us that freedom is essential to a child's development. It makes it possible for a child to realize him or herself.
 
Freedom does not mean a license. Instead, it is gradually aligned with the concept of responsibility and granted to a child in the Montessori classroom as the child shows them they can handle it. The adult helps the child exercise their reason and will in this process.
 

Empowering Our Girls

How we parents can encourage our little girls’ development through reading.

 
How can we help young girls break the mold and fearlessly be themselves? What specifics can we participate in together to build independent thinkers?
 

Who is the Elementary Child?

These astonishing, inspiring, infuriating, delightful, intellectual, affectionate, willful, imaginative, perplexing, energetic, shape-shifting, social, inconsistent, big-hearted, enigmatic, demanding, reflective, dramatic, complicated elementary children of ours:  who are they?  They are like arrows shot from our bow; if we would understand them, we must look far into the distance where they are aimed:  adolescence.
 

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.
