While we are all busy working on our first year program we wanted to take a quick breather to outline our future program direction:
Our plan is to expand to offer a full range from Toddler to Middle School programs over the next several years. We will expand our preschool program incrementally to facilities nearby as well as work on the logistics and zoning of operating a school in this "campus" format. Donna Booth will be leading the development of our Elementary Program. Donna's 24 years of Montessori experience ranges from her training at the International Center for Montessori Studies Foundation in Bergamo Italy to teaching and administration at the International Montessori School of Beijing (MSB), as well as teaching and directing elementary programs at the Montessori House of Children in London and the Guelph Montessori School. While we are very excited about our long term plans and will begin laying the ground work this year, our primary activities will be focused on our Toddler and Children's House programs. Our current facility and program is a seed and we expect to nuture it in this our inaugural year. We are looking forward to developing a dynamic creative school environment that is serves the children parents and staff. We invite you to join us on our journey to create a successful educational experience for all. Please stay tuned on this blog to learn of our endeavours for the future.
Beyond our own school growth plans we see an opportunity for our region to be a leader in personalization in education ranging from Montessori Programs to home school groups to Waldorf and faith based schools.
