My daughter was at Montessori for 12 years, starting with daycare. She blossomed there. Like most children, she had an individual learning style that involved much quicker learning in some areas than others. The individualized approach, along with grouping children together in three grade segments, worked for her in a way that she would not have had access to in a regular school environment. She was allowed to work more slowly in areas that difficult for her, while being gently encouraged to approach them. She was allowed to work more quickly in areas that were easier for her, which gave her a sense of pride and accomplishment. She learned how to organize her time. She learned how to persist. I know there was at least one incident when she was indirectly bullied. I never heard the full story because the school intervened quickly and changes were made that prevented this from happening again. I only learned from another parent, and I believe it involved some written materials. But they protected my daughter. I am eternally grateful to MMS for nurturing of both her intellect and her self-esteem, as well as her character and self discipline. It was worth every penny we spent on this stellar school.
