Enrolling your child in an early childhood program is a big decision and for many parents it can be an emotional roller coaster. New building, new routines, new adults, and the list goes on.
At Fox Valley Montessori School, our trained teachers specialize in Early Childhood and have many hours of specialized training, in addition to years working with children in a classroom. The staff at Fox Valley Montessori are required to attend a minimum of 15 hours of continuing education per year and all have been background checked. We also complete mandatory reporter training so you can trust your child is in good hands.
At Fox Valley Montessori School, our rooms are broken up into multi age groupings keeping our school authentic to the Montessori philosophy. Prior to school starting, we invite you and your child to visit the classroom together, tour the building together and meet the teachers. Our experience has shown, this is one way to help the child be more comfortable on their first day of school. We offer a welcoming classroom with the mixed ages which offers an older child to set an example for the younger child. As your child ages, our programs work together which means an easy transition between programs as your child matures.
Montessori education is known for the saying “Teach me to do it myself”. Fox Valley Montessori School can help your child develop their independence and self discipline. Our rooms are designed to foster independence with low shelves and materials which are created for children’s small hands. They are encouraged to be responsible for their classroom environment by helping to clean up spills and putting away their own materials when finished with them.
