Aside from school becoming your kids second home where their teachers in some way become and take the role of their second parents, many parents like me see a preschool as a stepping stone for our kids before they go into formal school or what others call the big school. This is where they can learn to socialize and interact with kids around their age, learn basic language and reading skills as well as basic concepts in math, science and other subjects taken up in later years.

The past school year, my mind has been opened up to Montessori Schools. I really learned to appreciate their method of teaching inspired and devised by Dr. Maria Montessori as a stepping stone and a choice that hubby and I made last year almost around this time too. It is a little different from the traditional school’s way of teaching. It is more of one on one approach and progressive style. The Montessori methodology is something that is being incorporated by Montessori Dublin. Children get to choose the educational and practical life materials that they would like to work on and learn from at their own progress, at their own pace with a one on one teaching approach from their teacher.

We liked how our child has developed and grown over the past year. I am even amazed at some of the things he has mastered in math particularly in algebra mastering the binomial easily by age three, and trinomial math materials in their classroom as well as the geometry cabinet where he really made strong progress when it was only recently introduced to him. The teacher is really proud to tell us this achievement. My hubby and I are happy that we made this choice for Montessori school as a stepping stone for our son for the big school in the next few years.
