• Evolutionary approach to the child-parent-teacher connection, using technology to build on the successes that Maria Montessori shared with us.

Behavioral Focus

• Greatly reduce, & eliminate, yes, eliminate the vast majority of behavioral issues facing parents. The premise is simple. All other things being equal, once we've eliminated some basic, normal misbehaviors, we will start to see happier kids and enhanced educational results. Furthermore, if there ever was a time where you could "have your cake & eat it too", this would be it. In other words, to some extent the higher educational results will simply be a bi-product of the environment in which the children are learning. The character-based curriculum being offered is enough to thrill parents & captivate the attention of the kids! Positive results will naturally follow. But the clincher is this:

• While children can adapt, it is not natural for them to go to school, or anywhere else for that matter for an 8 to 12 hour period every day without seeing Mom &/or Dad at least for a little while. Of course they'll be ok without us, but who says we should accept “ok” just because it can be done? What would happen if they could see us, if only for a few minutes during the day? At Martin Montessori Academy, this can happen! Using video conferencing, you & your child will be able to share the little moments that make life great. Your precious child will know that he is just that. He'll know just how much he matters to you. She'll see your smiling face & know that you're there for her. She'll see you right after nap time when she wants to share an exciting story with you.

• Sometimes we worry, “seeing me during the day will only make it worse for her/him”. That can be true initially during a brief period of time when your child is experiencing separation anxiety. When correctly handled, this will not occur, or be such a short-lived time-frame, and then for the remainder of the year you and your child will be able to maintain a healthy, balanced dynamic.  Martin Montessori Academy offers parents & children the opportunity to interact for 5 - 10 minutes, via Skype Video Conferencing. Simple & secure.
