Director's Comments
No children in Montessori are "behind" or "ahead" or "different." Children learn from where they are regardless of where that is. There is no competition or model. This philosophy allows children to learn without stress and at a staggering rate because they are happy and enjoy learning.
We have parent-teacher conferences twice a year. We also talk to parents nearly every day, so can meet at any time and often talk informally.
Separation
| OVERALL RATING (4.0) |
|
Beginning of the year separation is handled through:
- Extra staff dedicated to handle separation
- Pre-entry meetings with parents at school

Director's Comments
Many of our students start early, during the summer, when we have fewer students and a more relaxed program. We also encourage parents to bring children to visit a couple of times before they actually start.
Parents' Comments

My son/daughter's preschool connects parents with services/activities that can help me help my child develop better at home (check one): Frequently (three or more times a year) *But only at the parent's discretion. The school provides good, useful information on occasion regarding classes, seminars, and groups, and we can choose as parents to participate or get more information.

A Great Book Rhymes!
Kids are a funny bunch. They are often loath to change and anything new. But still, our little ones are open to so much -- and so much more than we more ossified parents are! Think of poetry: preschoolers happily read and repeat poems with ease and
