What amazed me most, was the level of excitement demonstrated by children in the Montessori school

I found a school that I liked, and briefly discussed with the Montessori teacher my concerns about Jacobs's behavior in public school.
After assuring me that Jacob's experience was a very common mistake made by kindergarten teachers, the Montessori school's director didn't hesitate a moment and strongly recommend I have Jacob try a year with them. Well, without hesitation I enrolled Jacob for school at Montessori that Fall. My son was actually termed 'gifted' within weeks of attending Montessori. Several of the staff commented on his enthusiasm, creativity and willingness to help out other students in the classroom.
I was so impressed with his improvements I volunteered to help out in the classroom a few times a month.
Since that time as my children have reached school age, I have enrolled all of them in schools practicing the Montessori method of teaching. None of my children have had any problems, and they have all excelled and surpassed their peers on educational assessment tests.
I learned many things while my children have been learning in Montessori. From other parents and skilled educators, I learned that children need to be encouraged to choose from a variety of different developmental activities.. so they learn how to teach themselves.

How to Help Your Child Get a Great Education

I am the proud parent of four beautiful children, ranging in age from 4 to 12 (that's me and my three youngest to your left).
As a committed and loving parent, I know just how much of an impact education can have on children. Over the last 10 years, I have volunteered in the classroom, watching my children and other parents' children develop their natural instincts to learn.
I can tell you without hesitation that when children learn, they engage many natural tendencies' including the inclination to be independent and make decisions, create order and develop self discipline. Children learn by using creativity, effort and concentration as a means of reaching their highest potential.
