Prepare your Child with the "Story About School" 

​

Preparing your child for school can be an exciting journey. To help them feel more comfortable, start by sharing the story of what they'll do during their school visit. You can turn this into a bedtime story or share it throughout the day. Discuss the clothes they'll wear, the breakfast they'll have and who will take them to school. Let them know a friendly teacher will greet them, show them where to hang their things and guide them through fun activities like puzzles, science projects or painting. Remind them they'll have responsibilities, like washing their own dishes and cleaning up after themselves. When it's time to go home, the teacher will help them put on their coat and gather their paperwork. This will make their transition to school smoother and more enjoyable.

 

 

The Term "WORK"

​

In the Montessori classroom, we refer to the children's intentional engagement in activities as "work." This reflects the respect and significance we associate with the efforts of both parents at home and in their careers. By using the word "work," we acknowledge that these pursuits are meaningful and deserving high regard. In our view, this definition fosters a sense of responsibility and pride in children as they immerse themselves in their learning experiences.
