I would like my daughter to be more independent and confident with herself as she is very shy and quiet socially.  I would also like to see my daughter receiving individual attention while learning in an environment that encourages group collaboration and respect. I would also like my daughter to have better communication and problem solving skills. Finally I would like my daughter to be less afraid of failure.  I think a good, authentic Montessori environment will be able to teach my child all of the above.
