Glendale Montessori

Nurturing the whole child

Marta Tyler

Upper Elementary Teacher

Joined Glendale Montessori School in 1979

What I love most about Montessori:
The children develop a love of learning and are able to learn at their own pace. They develop a sense of self and are productive, independent thinkers.

My favorite classroom material:
Square root board

What brings me joy outside of the classroom:
Volunteering at church, continuing to learn, hiking, reading and traveling.

FAVORITE MONTESSORI QUOTE

“The secret of good teaching is to regard the child’s intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination. Our aim, therefore, is not merely to make the child understand and still less to force him to memorize, but so to touch his imagination as to enthuse him to his inmost core.”

"This is the sweetest little school! We love everything about it, from the Montessori method that has opened up the world to our daughter, to the fun, loving, yet disciplined atmosphere the teachers and staff foster. The children learn respect for others as well as self reliance on themselves. I can't say enough about how fantastic our experience here has been for all 3 years! We look forward to sending our son here when he's old enough."
