I can’t begin to tell you how fabulous it feels to have school open, your children here and everyone happy and healthy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Children’s House parents, for trusting us, supporting us and working hard to keep us all safe. It has been a successful and wonderful 3 weeks. I am so proud of my staff for the dedication it took to set up their classrooms….inside, outside and online! And the amazing job they are doing to give each child in their care a beautiful education. I only wish you could all see the classrooms each day. They are peaceful and lovely and the children are engaged, productive and happy. Maria Montessori would be so very proud.
While we are enjoying our days, it is not lost on me that many are ill and many have lost everything in all of these devastating fires. Our hearts go out to them. Stay safe, my Children’s House family. Wishing you all the best this Fall. Enjoy an autumn drive or hike with your children and watch the leaves turn colors! Much continued health and happiness to you all.

We are so happy to be back in the classroom with our littlest friends here at Children’s House !
There are so many new friends to make, snacks to enjoy, work to explore and learning to do. Each child has been adjusting to our new environment, getting to know our school day routine and growing into their independence with lessons on work and self help skills.
Rachel and I are thrilled to be able to share this magical time with your children.

What a great start to our new school year! Your children have been hard at work and are adjusting amazingly to our new routines. And thank you so much for remembering to bring in your child’s plant! Our classroom is so beautiful with the shelves full of plants and the children love checking on them and watering them.

"The Science of Peace, were it to become a special discipline, would be the most noble of all, for the very life of humanity depends on it.
-Maria Montessori, 1932.
Our greatest responsibility as educators is the development of strong moral character and compassion which is given its own attention and incorporated into the Montessori child’s classroom life on a daily basis in stories and morality tales, group discussions, role playing activities, cooperative games and much more. The peaceful child develops from within and, in the formative years, will develop a perspective of the world based on the experiences of this period. We have been paying A LOT of attention to the concept of peace this month (as we will every month) and focusing on what we do to be peaceful people. This is the first lesson we wish to teach our new little buddies as we develop a mentor relationship with them. To foster this relationship, we have been learning (or reviewing) those foundation lessons (parts of biomes, primary needs of people, etc.) that build an understanding of the world we live in. Because guidance, cooperation and teamwork are central to success in the Montessori classroom, we wanted to share some photos of our peaceful lower el children.
