What is Montessori?
Are you apprehensive about the quality of education your
child will receive in a traditional school setting?
 Are you looking
for an environment where your child will be seen as an individual
and where his/her educational, social and emotional needs
will be met?
|
Unlike traditional education,
Montessori stresses self-directed learning, on your
child’s timetable, and success is measured by
his/her mastery of concepts. The Montessori Method
teaches children to be independent, capable, motivated,
thinking individuals and frees each child’s
potential for self-development in a prepared environment.
Children cannot develop to their highest level if
they are not given the proper tools and environment
for learning. The Montessori environment mirrors your
child’s developmental levels. Your child interacts
with his/her environment, directs his own learning,
and learns through discovery, with very little adult
intervention. The adult is an observer and a guide. |

Benefits of
Montessori at Home
The concept of Montessori At Home Educational Consulting
Services grew from conversations I’ve had
over the years with parents concerned about the
education of their young children.
Parents are looking for a viable alternative to
public education and there are many private nursery
and kindergarten programs available. But the cost
of these pre-schools is prohibitive to many families.
For Montessori schools in the Northern New Jersey
area, the 2007-2008 tuition cost for 3 half days
(2-1/2 to 3 hour session) averages over $5,400 while
5 half days averages close to $6,500. |

Montessori at Home will give you, the parent,
the tools to create this environment in your own home and
provide the benefits of Montessori education to your own
child. Parents are the child’s first teacher. They
are his role model and his security and give unconditional
love and nurturing. I will empower you to arouse the capabilities
and further the development of your child. It is my goal
to assist parents in this vital and complex task by giving
them the tools to guide their child’s development,
using the Montessori Method. I will explain the educational
philosophy, and demonstrate how to bring it to life in your
home.
