Caleb is currently in a Montessori preschool and the teaching method has been wonderful. He has learnt so much in the 1.5 years he's been there (it's an age 3-5 program), and truly enjoys going to preschool every day. My husband, Jason, went to a Montessori elementary when he was growing up (Tyee in Vancouver), and he credits his elementary years with helping him develop a love of learning. Not only does WMA follow the Montessori method, but the school itself embodies the type of respectful, nurturing and supportive environment we want for Caleb. What I want above anything else is for Caleb to enjoy learning and for his school to help build his confidence in a safe, supportive, inclusive and respectful environment. WMA's philosophy of working with each student's individual strengths and providing support in weaker areas is wonderful. We saw that in the classroom observation today: confident, happy children who were able to follow their interests, ask questions and explore their surroundings, while supported and guided by the teacher.
