What is Montessori?

Montessori is an intentionally prepared environment, where children have the freedom to independently select their own learning based on their interests.

During a work cycle children select from the shelf and than return to get another work of their chosing (work = hands on acticity)

There are 5 areas of Montessori Learning

Practical Life (folding, buttoning, doll play)

Math (shapes, numbers, sequencing)

Literacy (letters, pre reading skills)

Cultural (science and social studies)

and Sensorial (textures, playdough and sand)

This environment creates children who enjoy learning, because they are not being forced to learn about things that they are not interested in.

This helps produces lifetime learners instead of children who despise and dread school.

If the classroom space was not thoughtfully prepared with materials, it would be a “play based daycare with no curriculum”

If the toys were blinging, blaring, singing, lighting up, plastic contraptions those would be doing the work for the child, and the child is not really engaging in their learning.

What Parent's Have to Say

"My daughter always looks forward to her days here. She has learned so much about kindness and how to treat others and has formed some great friendships. We have always been confident that she is safe and loved. We couldn't have chosen a better place to send our child"

-Lauren

You couldn't ask for a more loving, caring, smart, kind, gentle and understanding person to take care of your children. My daughter has learned so much with Crystal taking care of her and teaching her. She has learned how to count, how to say her ABC's, her fine motor skills are amazing and her vocabulary and speech is great for a 2 year old. She has learned all that and so much more being here. I couldn't ask for more for Crystal exceeds all expectations she goes above and beyond. I believe this is Crystal's true calling. She is amazing at what she does and I couldn't recommend someone better because she is the best.

-Katie

Searching for a childcare provider is stressful, but when we found Ms. Crystal all our prayers were answered!

Not only does my 2 year old learn and have fun everyday, he enjoys going there and never wants to leave. In our experience Ms. Crystal treats our son and us like family, and honestly what more could you ask for when looking for the person who is going to be taking care of and helping shape the most important person in the world. Our children are our future and at Ms.

Crystals you will have peace of mind knowing your children are being taking care of, learning, and having fun under the care of someone who loves each and everyone of them as her own.

-Becky

Our 4 year old daughter has been attending Ms. Crystals program for almost 2 years. In that time, our daughter has acquired the skills necessary to excel in kindergarten while engaging in a small ratio of children to guide. She's provided the one-on-one attention that she would typically not receive in a traditional pre-school program. In addition to all of the educational benefits, our daughter looks forward to going each day, enjoys the other children that attend, has learned manners and kindness, engages in outdoor time near daily, and has gained friendships. Ms. Crystal's attention to detail within the program is one of a kind. She clearly treats each child as if he/she is her own. We've been very pleased with Ms. Crystal's programming and highly recommend it.
