We strongly believe that a self-directed learning is the way to go. Winnie flourishes in an environment that allows her to  take ownership of her own learning and will do well as a part of the close, caring community provided by Montessori. Our goal is to teach Winnie to be capable, accountable, knowledgeable, and a person with a strong sense of self. At home, we allow Winnie to clean (wiping, sweeping, vacuuming), laundry (put clothes in, fold, put clothes away), dog care, cook (measure, mix, stir, season). We want to continue the practical lessons and encourage her interests at her pace.
