School Notes
The Montessori School of the Berkshires is an individualized,
child centered educational approach based on Dr. Maria Montessori's
observations of child development. The Montessori method emphasizes
self directed activity and independence on the part of the child,
and observation and guidance on the part of the teacher. In
Montessori schools, the learning environment supports individual
childrens needs and developmental levels.
The school is what every parent wants for their child. The building and grounds are lovely. The staff is upbeat and kind. The classrooms are full of light and space. With emphasis on community, nature and nurture, my children have thrived in such a setting. I had children who became anxious and sad at public schools. Montessori has revived their spirit. Patient guiding in the classroom, hour outside recess every day, gardening, cooking, community, this school sets the example what all schools should aim for.
