I recently submitted an application for my daughter Ellia to attend the pre-school program, and many of the things I mentioned for her, ring true for my son as well. I have the chance to attend 3 years of Montessori school when I was a child and they are some of my fondest educational memories. I feel like my time in the program set me up for a lifelong love of learning, a curiosity about the world and how to approach problems, and a sense of confidence in my abilities to be able to figure things out. I want to instill similar traits in my own children. I think Tate's innate curiosity to understand how things work and his perceptive and sensitive nature to how people think and feel (and why), makes him a perfect candidate for the Montessori program. I think the program would enhance these natural traits in him and that he would flourish in such a positive and welcoming learning environment.
