The Child’s Power of Love

By | May 1, 2018

The experience of authentic, unconditional love differs from romantic and other types of love. Unconditional love is not based on possessing or acquiring (Valentine. M. Love Is the Way). When we know this love, we experience personal and universal peace. And while this love is observed and discussed repeatedly by the world’s great teachers, we seldom consider how this love also emanates from children. The smallest of babies cause us to smile. They and older children awaken us, and we engage...

Elementary Years

By | Oct 26, 2017

To inspire academic excellence; nurture curiosity, creativity, and imagination; and awaken the human spirit As children near the end of their kindergarten year in Montessori, many parents struggle with the question of whether or not to keep their children in Montessori for the elementary program.

Introducing the New Adult Montessori’s Vital Vision for the Adolescent

By | Sep 20, 2017

Sometimes coming of age is a slow boil. And other times it’s like adding rice stick noodles into a wok full of oil.
