Your child is an individual.
Chiaravalle
is a place where individuals are respected. As
Montessori educators, we believe that when children are allowed to explore what
interests them, their concentration is greater and, as a result, their mastery
of skills and concepts is reinforced. That’s why we offer individualized
instruction and encourage student-initiated learning.
Your child lives, plays, and will eventually
work with others.
Chiaravalle is a place where individuals learn and
practice their responsibilities as members of a diverse community. We believe
that learning respect and empathy for others is as important as learning how to
advocate and care for yourself. That’s
why we focus on social and emotional growth as well as academic learning.
Chiaravalle
offers an educational journey that may begin as early as infancy and conclude
with preparation for high school. As students make that journey in preparation for life, our nurturing yet challenging environment helps children gain greater independence and self-confidence while developing higher-order cognitive skills.
As
educational Program Directors, we coordinate student learning across
program
levels so that children experience the curriculum as a continuous
spiral of
connected concepts and skills becoming more complex and challenging as
students
progress through the various developmental stages. We serve as an
important link among students, parents, teachers, and the curriculum.
We spend
time in classrooms every day, getting to know students and supporting
teachers. We love learning. We look forward to learning more about
you and your child.
Sincerely,
Libby Wolfe Robyn McCloud-Springer
Early Childhood Program Director Assistant Head of School for Curriculum
