As I prepare to study at the second-oldest university in the world, graduating as one of four class valedictorians, I cannot help but look back fondly on my memories of Maitland Montessori. The teachers there (special shout-out to Mr. Owens and Mrs. Talbert especially!) were kind and nurturing towards my young autistic self in a way I doubt many public school teachers would have been.
There are seven steps to becoming a Montessori parent.
Step 1: Enrolling Your Child
The first step in becoming as Montessori parent took place when you enrolled your child in a Montessori program. You need to understand the core philosophy of what Montessori is all about. The most significant Montessori concept is to respect the child. Your child is not a blank slate. Respecting the child is first, to respect the nature of children and their individual personalities. Children are not mini adults waiting to be molded.
Creative in research and teaching.
