Sadie is a curious, creative and empathic little girl. She is also highly sensitive and these sensitivities enable her to be deeply inquisitive, but at times, these sensitivities can make it challenging for her to trust in her abilities. I have seen her become stressed as she tries to meet perceived expectations or match her peers. I feel that the self-guided learning style that the Montessori Method lends itself to would play a pivotal role in helping our daughter build the skills and confidence that would allow her to grow into herself in the most supportive way. As a teacher myself, I am acutely aware of how the type of learning environment directly impacts the development of each unique student. As a parent, I feel that Sadie's temperament would be best served by your school's environment and the unique, supportive Montessori Method.  With this strong foundation I think that Sadie would have a bright future ahead in any of her pursuits.
