The children are encouraged to make decisions at an early age, helping them to become problem solvers and decision makers, who can make choices and manage their time well. I feel passionate about, and see the need and the importance of, educating the young child during their most formative preschool years. I believe as Maria Montessori does - that young children are like sponges and "soak up" learning if given the information and the opportunity to "experience" it.
I believe that the teacher should model the behavior in which she so desires from the child. The teacher's attributes should display integrity, honesty, and respect, in and for herself, the child, her world. I believe that educating the young child is a process and the process will determine the product. I believe that it is crucial for the parent to be involved in their child's education process. The best way for a parent to be involved and to help provide the child a successful school year, is to support the child's school and teacher, to communicate closely with the child's school and teacher, to support the school's philosophy, to show excitement toward the child's school work and homework, and to become an active parent, involved in the child's education, not only in the classroom, but continuing the
education at home." - Lois
