As the Earth continues to circle the sun, Montessori education continues to grow and develop. We see the products of Montessori education throughout society. From the founders of Google to the future kings of England, Montessori is enjoying a phenomenal surge around the world. However, at SHINING STARS SCHOOL, We have been providing authentic Montessori education since 2014.
Montessori education is a very natural way for a child to learn. More often than not, parents will come to me and say that they would like their child to have a leg up when their child leaves our program. To an extent, that is absolutely a by product of early Montessori education.Your child will be ahead in life, but not necessarily in the way you may think. AT SHINING STARS SCHOOL, academics are a major component of our curriculum, but it is neither the end nor the beginning of the child’s education.. We strive to cultivate the whole and best human being in each child. This stars with our focus on peace education or what has been more recently termed Mindfulness.
Each child is taught to embrace the world around them and to find inner and outer calmness. With calmness leads to harmony and a better environment in which children learn. The children will naturally follow their own path, with guidance from our teachers, in the areas of Mathematics, Language Arts, Geography, Science, Practical Life, Sensorial, and Art. Our goal is to instill confidence and independence in each child that enters our program. We strive to go above and beyond for each child and are willing to do what it takes to make each child a life-long learner and help children establish a love of school.
I invite all families who want the best possible start for their child to come visit us and spend some time in our classrooms to get to know our school community. I am happy to sit down with any parent and answer any questions you may have.
