Our daughter started this past school year as a very shy 3 year old with average self confidence. Thanks to Miss Savi and Miss Tia at Harmony, she is now extremely outgoing and confident in herself. Their warm and caring nature and the small classroom environment have really brought out the best in our little girl. While Montessori is student-driven, the rules have really taught her a sense of structure and order which has helped in every aspect of life. She has even scolded family members for talking with food in their mouths! :) Her social and emotional growth over this past year has been phenomenal but so has her academic growth. She's now reading simple words and writing and has an impressive grasp on mathematical concepts. She's interested in other languages, cultures and countries and has learned about things in nature. She looks forward to going to school and even asked us to add an extra day to her schedule. When there is a week where she will miss a day of school because of a holiday or a teacher workshop, Miss Savi always offers to let her come on her day off (she currently goes 4 days) so that she's not missing a day, which tells me that she truly cares about her students' education. Sending her to Harmony has been an excellent investment in her development and we couldn't be happier!
