Philosophy Statement:

• We believe in the value of human diversity and the fair treatment of people.
• We believe – All children have the right to feel good about themselves and it is the responsibility of all teachers to nurture the child’s self esteem.
• We believe – The home is the most  important factor in a child’s development. We will always strive to support and complement the family in order to promote the healthy development of children and parents.
• We believe – Loving, trusting, and respecting each child enables that child to love, trust, and respect others. Each child and family is due the respect for personal privacy demanded by professional ethics.
• We believe – It is important to meet each child’s need for physical, social, emotional, and intellectual growth by providing diverse experiences in a supportive environment.
• We believe – Each person is a unique individual and has his or her own needs. Each person has a right to meet this need their own way and in their own time. However, one of the responsibilities of having rights is recognizing and respecting the rights of others.
• We believe – Children deserve to have teachers who are capable, caring and whose values enable them to be excellent role models. Our educational and guidance decisions must be based on our knowledge of child development.

       Following the teachings of Dr. Maria Montessori we believe that the child develops at his or her own rate and their motivation to learn is encouraged through the development of their own coordination, concentration, independence and order.  To encourage this voluntary learning the child is free to choose within a non-competitive, blended age classroom referred to as the prepared environment.  This belief allows that every object in the classroom has a specific place and purpose.

      The staff at Michele's Montessori are dedicated to children and each classroom will be staffed by a certified Montessori Lead teacher and 2 or more assistants, who are certified in CPR and First Aid.

       Our school offers several different programs for children 1 1/2 to 12 years of age and also offers transportation for those children attending the elementary schools in the area.  All classes follow the Midland Public School calendar year and the Child Care continues during the summer.  You will find more information about our programs and school on this website.

       We welcome you once again to our website and would encourage you to contact us with additional questions or to schedule a tour after exploring the site.

     We look forward to meeting you and your child.

                                               Yours in Montessori,

                                               Kailia Gibson
