Generally speaking, the Montessori philosophy resonates with my personal beliefs that children have great capacity to learn, love to learn and should be given the opportunity to learn in an environment that respects them. 

More specifically, regarding Isaac, I have seen how curious he is about understanding how things work, how he enjoys learning and being challenged by new things, and how he is able to independently work and play for extended periods of time. Thus, my education goals for him at this stage are to be in a learning environment where he is able to explore his interests in a structured manner, and able to learn new skills at a pace that works for him. 
I feel the Montessori method is able to provide Isaac with such a learning environment and I really appreciate the broad range of Montessori materials and the passion of Montessori teachers who encourage children to learn and to think critically.
