a montessori introduction

So, September 14th Angelina will begin pre-school full time. I've got a lot of mixed emotions about this. I am excited for her, I think it will be a great experience and I am hoping she flourishes. But at the same time it is a "growing" up I am not sure I am ready for!!!

In any case- it's here and it's real--so I'm dealing. After doing a lot of research we've selected a small Montessori preschool, there are only about 25 students there. I had always heard a lot about "Montessori" yet never really knew much about it. I had heard the reputation for turning out bright, well rounded children, and as a completely biased mother I thought, "My already bright and well rounded child would be perfect for this environment!"

As I studied up, I found that the philosophy behind Montessori agrees with what has been in my heart since becoming a mother. Here is a link that gives some more insight into the Montessori philosophy.

Ms. Pearl the Director is a warm, extremely expressive woman- and seems very proud of her school. I'll keep you posted on how goes it!
