Our main education goal for our daughter is for her to love learning. We feel the Montessori Method promotes a positive learning environment, focusing on community where children feel empowered and confident in their ability. Not having to be competitive with classmates, but focusing on their own strengths leads to that love of learning we are seeking for her. Teaching self-motivation while promoting cooperative play, with hands on learning is a perfect fit for our daughter. We also think Kiev would be a wonderful asset to your school. She's creative, intelligent - always asking why and how - and is a well liked natural leader.
