I feel very fortunate to have the friends I have. I am equally happy to see that my kids are experiencing the benefits that friendship brings. Knowing that they have people beyond family that they can reach out to for anything is a source of comfort and a reflection of interpersonal skills they have managed to build. It turns out that having friends is just as important for preschool children, and in some ways, more beneficial.
One of our favorite activities at the school is gardening. We have kept plants in the curriculum as, among other things, a way to teach the children about growing food. As usual with Montessori, the best way is the hands-on way. Watch the edges of the playground and you will notice a series of box planters. Over the years these have yielded some wonderful classroom treats.
No need to worry
We read every form submission. If you asked us to get back to you, we will. Otherwise, know that we hear you and are happy for the inputs. And don’t worry about spam. We hate it too – so you won’t get it from us.
Don’t worry, we aren’t verbose
We very occasionally send out cool bits of info, but we never spam. And if you lose interest we promise we won’t be offended. Everything we send out has an unsubscribe link so you can control your own relationship with us (which is of course how it should be).
