We appreciate the Montessori approach in viewing the child as an individual.   One of our biggest concerns with Matteo entering school is that he would get “lost in the crowds (other students).”  From discussion with his early childhood educators and observing Matteo, we know that he works better one-on-one and in smaller groups, therefore the student to ratio has been a factor in our choice of school.
As the learning approach is individualized; we hope Matteo will be engaged and experience positive feedback from his achievements.  Our goal would be for him to build a positive attitude towards school and learning, while also building healthy routines and habits that help with his confidence that will help him in later in his academic career and chosen vocation.  

Education goals:
-	Build a strong foundation for academic years
-	Develop a positive attitude towards learning 
-	Promote social development and emotional intelligence.
-	imaginative exploration to lead him to be more confident and creatively expressive
-	Grow more functionally independent
