CONSISTENT PARENT-TEACHER COMMUNICATION

We have one lead teacher in each of our infant classrooms with the support of assistant teachers. Your child will interact with all of our team members throughout the day. However, most of the communication to parents will come from our lead teacher.

What can I expect when I observe a Montessori classroom?

The independence of the children is very evident; you can expect to see students choosing their own work, preparing snacks by themselves, putting away their work without being asked, and assisting other students needing help. This sense of self discipline, citizenry and independence is fostered through a long and patient process. The Montessori philosophy is founded on the principle that every child can succeed.

What is the benefit of keeping my child at Montessori through their Kindergarten year?

This is a fair question, and it deserves careful consideration. The following article, Why Montessori for the Kindergarten Year, written by Tim Seldin with Dr. Elizabeth Coe offers an excellent answer.

"I am deeply grateful to the staff at Child's World"

Both of my children have had the good fortune of being in Miss Jackie's classroom at Child's World, and our family has benefited immeasurably from the clear, consistent, caring guidance that Miss Jackie and her staff provide --- not only to the children, but to us parents as well! Without their Montessori-informed guidance, we would never have known how much our young children are capable of doing. I am deeply grateful to the staff at Child's World for sharing their love, respect, and knowledge with our family. Thank you!

"I know that my son is getting appropriate care and love"

When I was searching for a childcare facility, Miss Patience and her team at the Infant House were the only people I felt good about leaving my son with. Miss Patience has been great for a first time mom who has had absolutely no experience with infants. She is extremely knowledgeable and is always willing to provide more information about any question I have regarding his sleeping, eating, or other health issues (e.g., rash, fever, etc.). She is very responsive and promptly responds to e-mails/texts regarding any question or concerns I might have. While I am at work, I know that my son is getting appropriate care and love and while my son obviously can't tell me about his experience the smile on his face when he sees Miss Patience, Miss Shannon, or Miss Phineice when I drop him off in the morning makes it a lot easier to leave him. Thanks for taking care of Aldrik Miss Patience and all of the infant house team (Shannon, Phiniece, Maycee, and Danielle)!
