Montessori School Advantages

As parents, our most significant decisions are based on how to educate our children.

A core concern during their formative years is ‘what’s right for them—and us.’ Whether the question is ‘Which school’ or ‘Where is it’ or ‘Is our best choice,’ their educational path from toddler to grade school to college is always in our minds.

Skill Sets That Create Curiosity

How do we educate our elementary child today for a very different tomorrow? By building the whole child to have skill sets that create curiosity.

The future workforce will invite educated young adults into a world of emerging businesses in categories not yet invented.

Think of our parents. They never even touched a computer until they were teens. Even today, their digital skills are far below that of our Generation Z children. 

Explaining The Montessori Method

Build Better Bridges With Your Child Thru Compassion, Acknowledgement, and Questions

 
“All You Need is Love”…and a Lot of Listening
 
What’s the first thing you can do to build a happier home with your children? According to the Montessori Method, ‘listen.’
 
Let’s say it’s three thirty, the school’s out, you’re driving home with your daughter, the radio is on, the driver behind you just pulled an aggressive move, and your four-year-old exclaims, “I want French fries!”
 

It's My Life! Stop Saying Don't, Can't, Won't!

Dear Mommy and Daddy,

Since I was born, I’ve been percolating. My neurons have been transmitting information throughout my brain. These nerve cells have been firing synapses that have been creating a pathway through my brain since Day One. Every pathway allows information to travel around my brain and the more pathways I have, the faster my brain works.

We have over 100 billion neurons in our brain at birth—as many stars as in the Milky Way!

Building Confidence in Your Child Starts with You

Raising Can and Able Children

 
How can we raise confident children in a growing world of negativity?
 
As parents, our job is to build our children up by fostering their independence and allowing them the time to act on their natural curiosity. 
 
If you tell your children you believe in them, then they will believe in themselves. A confident child develops and displays belief in his or her abilities that manifests itself as self-trust.
 

Montessori School Cuts Student Anxiety

Methods That Embrace Learning Rather Than Rote

 

As parents, we know the value of school—it’s the springboard toward a life-long career rather than holding an hourly job. But, we also need to know how to value what is being taught in our schools.

In today’s traditional schools there’s one constant question: How well are we are reaching and teaching our children?
