At
Kirkwood Children’s House, we believe the greatest gift you
can give your child is an education that fosters self-confidence,
responsibility and a life-long love of learning.
Community
We are a small, friendly community of Montessori teachers and multi-ethnic families
who share a genuine concern and enthusiasm for children. Our warm and friendly
staff and unique home-like setting create a perfect environment for your child
to develop into an intelligent, confident and independent person.
Children
Our mixed-age classroom community is similar to a family setting with siblings.
Young children learn from the older ones while older children gain patience and
pride from helping a younger child. This creates an environment where children
feel accepted and encouraged by one another.
Teachers
The lead teachers at Kirkwood Children’s House are certified Montessori
educators with college degrees and many years experience working with young
children. Support staff, from assistant teachers to office personnel, are trained
in the
philosophy and common goals of the school. Just as the Montessori philosophy
is based on respect, so is the basis for our relationships with one another,
the children and the parents.
 Parents
Parents play a critical role at Kirkwood Children’s House. We maintain
a consistent connection between home and school by building a trusting, respectful
relationship with parents through newsletters, parent meetings and regularly-scheduled
conferences. Teachers are always available to parents and welcome their observations.
Meanwhile, parents get to know each other through our family school picnic,
field trips, parent group activities and daily interaction. When we all work
together,
each child flourishes. |
