The controversy surrounding computer use, and when it is developmentally appropriate to expose the child to the world of technology, seems to continue to dominate the education field and the minds of many questioning parents.

Planning Day at Montessori Tides

Just a reminder that Friday, October 4 is planning day. No School! As I write this, I am reminded of an encounter with a parent a few years ago at a local establishment where I was picking up lunch for the staff.

Speaking from the Heart

It never ceases to amaze me how children become more and more like those they find around them.  Young children, especially between 0-3, will emulate their parents physical demeanor, which involves their way of walking, moving and talking, the handling of objects, their emotions, manners, and … [Read more...]

Following Your Child

Following Your Child

A Teacher’s Impact: Part 1
