"Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move foreward with your life. Your real education begins when you step out the door."Dr.David M Burns

Discovering How Your Child Learns.......

Observe the ways your child appears to learn best and think about the kinds of activities that capture his interest and attention. Check your observations with those of your child's teachers. Consider having him evaluated to find out in detail about strengths and weaknesses and to suggest appropriate teaching methods and materials.

Help your child understand himself as a learner. Many children who are not successful in school or in sporting activities (and sometimes, their parents and teachers, too) have trouble recognizing their strengths and knowing how to develop and use them. Sometimes their strengths are masked by their difficulties.

One of the best ways to encourage children to be hopeful about themselves is to introduce them to older students who can act as "Buddies"; with similar patterns of strengths and weaknesses. Often these individuals have discovered alternative ways of thinking and learning and can provide practical help and encouragement that continued effort is worthwhile. They demonstrate how hard work and effective strategies can lead to success.

Ultimately, the student determines this development himself. Desire is the basis of motivation. Knowing how to desire is a mystery that is rarely solved, but in the end it is always up to the individual.

Praise and blame, gain and loss, pleasure and sorrow come and go like the wind. To be happy, rest like a giant tree in the midst of them all.

Inspired by Dr Montessori's remarkable vision and method, her love and respect for children, we aim to nurture the whole child by stimulating and developing each child's unique intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual needs. We also strive to instill a life-long love for learning in every child.
