Claire has an inquisitive nature and asks many questions about the world around her, the Montessori method would allow Claire to explore these questions and learn the tools to be able to find the answers for herself.  She loves to read and is excited about her expanding vocabulary both in reading and writing, we feel that Montessori teaching style will encourage Claire to keep embracing that love of learning.  Claire does not feel as confident with her math skills and it is our hope that the way that math is taught in the Montessori style might encourage her to feel more confident and independent.
