Getting your preschooler to exercise
Today, preschoolers spend a lot of time in front of the television and the computer, playing games and watching cartoons. In doing so, kids hardly get time to do the thing that they are meant to do %u2013 run, jump, hop, skip and play. Gone are the days when childhood meant running around the woods and exploring the neighborhood. Today, parents are too worried to send the kids next door to play. The downside of all this is that kids, especially preschoolers do not get adequate exercise. (Read more about Getting your preschooler to exercise)

Montessori classrooms are mixed age groups, this grouping creates a highly productive learning environment. Each child works on material that is geared toward there ability and interest. When children of different age levels are able to work on individual materials along side one another, this produces a non-competitive atmosphere. In fact, most children excel beyond the %u201Caverage age expectations.%u201D

The Montessori Method is a special way of teaching children. Developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, the philosophy believes that every child can learn and that each child deserves a learning environment tailored toward their needs. Children have the natural desire to learn and Montessori teaches that children can be both educated and challenged in a loving, supportive environment without depriving them of the joy of discovery.
