Nurturing Curiosity
          
            Spring is a season of discovery, making April an excellent time
            to nurture curiosity and encourage hands-on learning. Montessori
            principles emphasize learning through exploration, observation,
            and real-world experiences.

          Starting Fresh with Montessori Principles
          
            The start of a new year is a great opportunity to embrace
            Montessori principles at home and in the classroom. By setting
            realistic resolutions and fostering peaceful routines, parents
            can create an environment that encourages independence and
            curiosity.
