Our Ground Rules, Mission Statement
The teacher guide the children to care and help one another. By creating a setting with mixed ages, we teach through our actions how an older child can help a younger child. When the younger child returns for his second or third year he can now provide help to new classmates. Creating a caring and respectful community is a key component of the Montessori environment. When problems do arise we assist the child through conflict resolution.The adult acts as an active listener to reach a solution agreeable to both children. Consistency among the staff provides a reassuring model for children to learn safety and social boundaries.
We at Artemisia Montessori Home strive to adhere to the philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori. We believe that every child should have the opportunity to reach their full potential and be treated with kindness and respect in his or her environment. We are dedicated to the preparation of the child for a life of academic achievement by providing a quality, personalized learning experience in a nurturing atmosphere. By valuing the spirituality and uniqueness of each individual and with gentle direction and guidance, we believe each child will progress with confidence.
