Nurturing the whole child
Joined Glendale Montessori School in 2013
What I love most about Montessori:
Mixed age groups—children are encouraged to help one another learn in a flexible, non-competitive, peer-learning environment
My favorite classroom material:
Test tube division
What brings me joy outside of the classroom:
Hiking with my dog, photography and traveling.
FAVORITE MONTESSORI QUOTE:
"Our daughter has been at this school for two years, and we find it to be such a lovely, warm and pressure-free educational environment. Our daughter has learned so much, but her learning is, in the true Montessori tradition, self-directed rather than teacher-led. It's true that the class sizes are fairly large, but that's actually entirely consistent with the Montessori philosophy, which values independence and gives children the space and time to work on their own rather than under the constant supervision or with the constant direction of a teacher. Every child is different I guess, but mine loves this school, and I would highly recommend it."
