Montessori teachers allow the children to learn from their own experiences. Adult interference is minimal. Teachers are specially trained to be keen observers, ready to facilitate a child's learning experience right on the spot. They also evaluate the children in literally a hundred different ways. It is then the Montessori way to work together, as consistently as possible, in shaping the child's growth.
Creativity is the watchword at Montessori, and the teachers guide all activities in that direction.
Self-expression is rewarded in an atmosphere of genuine trust and warmth. Parents are kept informed on Montessori school events and are encouraged to actively participate. Parents participate at Montessori from the very start. A personal counselor is assigned to each new enrollee to take care of orientation and other transitional matters concerning both child and parent. Newsletters are used to communicate general information to all, keeping an ongoing dialog between school and the home.
