The Children’s House Classroom
|
|
| In the Children’s House classroom, we promote each child’s individuality while encouraging a balance of self expression with responsibility and respect for the classroom community. |
|
| Grace and Courtesy Lessons in grace and courtesy are intermingled with academics and are presented with equal importance. Students are taught to behave with grace and courtesy, the foundation of conduct at The Children’s House. In the resulting environment of peace and safety, students are able to calmly concentrate and move toward greater self-confidence and independence. |

|
Nurturing Setting Our students are greeted by their teacher each day with a handshake and a smile. This warm and respectful welcome characterizes the nurturing setting they enter as their day begins. Each child is nurtured and encouraged by the teacher to develop as an individual. |
 |
Respect for OthersAt The Children’s House, there is respect for the uniqueness of each child. Students learn to appreciate the many differences within their diverse community. As our young learners work side by side in a cooperative and supportive manner, the seeds of harmonious living are sown. This fundamental and highly ethical precept of the Montessori experience is one of the greatest gifts of a Children’s House education |

|
Respect for a Child’s Mind The Montessori teacher presents lessons to an individual or small group and continuously observes the students, noting each child’s interest and progress in all disciplines. By being respectful of the child’s developing intellect, the teacher knows when to offer a child new lessons. During work periods, the children are empowered by their freedom to choose their work based on the lessons that they have already received |
