This evening we are excited to host our first Virtual Open House for our additional location that will be opening this September 2022.
.
.
We are now accepting registrations for our North Oakville campus for Toddlers (18 months ) to Grade 3. Our school will offer a warm and inviting environment with natural light through floor-to-ceiling windows, and spacious classrooms.
.
.
A beautifully landscaped, natural outdoor green space is right outside our classrooms. This space will be designed for children to foster the development of movement and stewardship of their environment. Keeping in-line with Montessori best practices, all classrooms feature: multi-age environment, low student/teacher ratios, hands-on experiential learning, and individual and small group lessons.
.
.
To learn more about Dearcroft Trafalgar Crossing and our programs offered from Toddler to Junior Elementary, join us this evening or on February 2nd 8:00-9:00 pm to meet our Administration Staff. To register for our Open Houses please email 📧 info@dearcroft-montessori.com

Dr. Montessori had hidden intentions when creating

Dr. Montessori had hidden intentions when creating many parts of the curriculum, especially in the practical life department.
.
.
🔹️Children love working on concrete skills; they savor the opportunity to complete a ‘real’ job independently.
.
.
🔹️Polishing activities also reinforce the importance of showing respect for your things; not just throwing something out when it gets a little old (perhaps an increasingly important lesson in our disposable culture!).
.
.
🔹️Within the polishing work, ancillary goals include working on fine motor skills and strengthening the pincer grip, which are necessary for the many pencil tasks ahead in their schooling career.
.
.
🔹️Students are also taught to remember and follow multiple steps in the process, a prerequisite for future math work.

Today is World Religion Day. It is a reminder of the need for harmony and understanding between religions. 🌎
.
.
To honour World Religion Day we are featuring a wonderfully written book
called 'The Golden Rule' by Ilene Cooper/Gabi Swiatkowska. 📚
The golden rule is a principle found in most religions and acting upon it has often shown to be the most unifying element among people.

“We shall walk together on this path of life, for all things are part of the universe and are connected with each other to form one whole unity.” - Maria Montessori
Dr. Maria Montessori designed powerful concepts in the curriculum aimed at fostering an understanding of commonalities of the human experience in hopes of establishing lasting world peace. 🌎
