Hands-on Observations
If specific
problems arise during the school year, parents should feel free to
contact
the school and a special meeting will be arranged.
Dress
Code
Your
child's clothing should be simple, comfortable, easy to clean, and easy
for them to manage. Avoid belts, straps, suspenders,
etc. Students
require runners for outdoor play, and slippers for indoor
wear. We
appreciate parents purchasing Velcro runners, whenever possible, to
allow
children to dress independently. The ability to “do it
themselves”
builds self-confidence and a feeling of independence. Sandals
are
not permitted in the playground area. For children in
diapers, please
ensure that you bring baby wipes, cream, and diapers, sufficient to
keep
your little one comfortable for the duration of their stay.
All clothing
should be labeled. The school is not responsible for lost
articles.
Parental
Involvement
Included
in your registration package is a Volunteer Sign-Up sheet.
There
are many activities in which we welcome, and need, your
assistance.
Parents who have a special talent, career, or hobby, that they think
might
be interesting to the children, are invited to make arrangements with
the
Class Teacher to set up a time to share this information with the
students.
 Behavior
Management
Paradise
Montessori Preschool follows a positive image management
policy.
All children are cared for respectfully. In the event a
student is
misbehaving, or hurting another child, the student will be re-directed
to a different area and/or another activity. The child will
be encouraged
to talk about the incident, and their behavior, when he or she is
ready.
Should a child become uncontrollable, for any reason, the parents will
be contacted immediately. With their permission, outside
resources,
such a Child Daycare Office Behavior Management Specialist, will be
consulted.
"Montessori
is not a system for training children in academic studies but a
revolutionary
method of observing and following the interests of children, and
continually
adapting the environment from which they learn, by means of
experimentation
and research, what they need to know in order to contribute to society
and the environment, and to become fulfilled persons in their
particular
time and place on Earth.” - THE
INTERNATIONAL MONTESSORI INDEX
