Gladwyne, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/21/2020 -- As your child transitions from kindergarten to first grade, are you noticing a greater curiosity for how things work, a more vivid imagination, or an increased desire to socialize and collaborate?

When a child enters the elementary stage of development between the ages of 6-12, his or her capacity for learning moves beyond the concrete manipulation of materials to more abstract thought. Supported by a burst of creativity and imagination, the elementary-aged child has an innate desire to explore and understand the "why" and "how" of the world. Additionally, he or she is more acutely aware of the interrelationships of life and begins to develop a moral sense of fairness, equality, and justice. In order to nurture the growth of the elementary-aged child, it is important to understand the unique needs and nature of this developmental stage.

Join Gladwyne Montessori's Director of Montessori Gwen Shangle on Thursday, May 28 at 7:30 p.m. for an educational discussion on the elementary stage of development and its associated challenges and changes. Discover how the Montessori curriculum adapts to meet the intellectual, social, and emotional needs of the elementary-aged child and enables learning in the context of a bigger picture. The conversation will also touch on Montessori-based practices for helping children in their elementary years navigate modern-day stressors, including social media, peer pressure, and social cliques.

This webinar is free and open to the public. To register, and to view a list of upcoming webinars offered by Gladwyne Montessori, please visit their website.

Gladwyne, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/15/2020 -- Whether you are a first-time parent or a parent of four, nothing is more awe-inspiring than watching your child blossom as a unique, little human acquiring new skills and revealing a distinctive personality. Beginning with the earliest stages of development, often parents try to lay the very best foundation for their child to ensure he or she will thrive. But, with this great responsibility, it is natural for parents to feel uncertain, and perhaps even apprehensive, about what providing the best entails.

We at Gladwyne Montessori understand this and have designed a Parent-Toddler Program to support both parents and children during the most formative years of human development. During the first three years of life, the brain develops most rapidly and more learning takes place than at any other stage. Under the guidance of a highly-experienced, Montessori-certified Parent-Toddler facilitator, you will learn how to help your child realize his or her potential and natural desire to grow intellectually, physically, emotionally, and socially. You, as a parent, will be supported and further equipped in the all-important role as your child's first teacher.

In addition to gaining insight into early childhood development, parents will discover simple yet effective strategies to encourage independence and to help children engage in learning activities and develop confidence. Serving as a model and a guide, the Parent-Toddler facilitator will demonstrate practical examples of how to introduce elements of the classroom into the home to prepare an environment that meets the needs of the child and promotes the development of cognitive, motor, and language skills.

Beyond having access to vast resources on parenting and early childhood development, one of the greatest benefits of the Parent-Toddler Program is the community it provides for parents and children alike. Most often, this is a toddler's first opportunity for social interaction outside of the family circle and an introduction to a classroom setting. For parents, the class provides a supportive environment to share ideas and experiences with other like-minded families that are dealing with similar challenges and milestones. Whether the Parent-Toddler community gathers in-person or engages virtually, it engenders a sense of comfort, like family, as its members journey the course of a school year together, watching one another's little ones grow. Having connected over the highs and lows of parenting, we often find that parents in the class establish life-long friendships.

Having a supportive, empathic community may feel even more essential during challenging times, such as now when the pandemic has turned normal routines upside down and forced limitations on social interactions. As the current Parent-Toddler classes continue in a virtual format, one parent expresses that she "look[s] forward to gathering on Zoom each week because it brings some normalcy into [her] family's life. During these strange times, [she needs] guidance and support more than ever." The children, though young, also recognize and enjoy seeing their friends' faces online as they collectively sing fingerplay songs, listen to storytime, and learn a new activity. The class is a special, dedicated moment out of the week for the children to share with their parents and friends.

A child's early years are critical in establishing the foundation of his or her personality and the development of independence, confidence, and resilience. Gladwyne Montessori's Parent-Toddler Program helps parents navigate this stage of their children's lives beyond the advice that is garnered through the pages of parenting books or the internet. Our program offers the guidance and expertise of a trained professional, as well as the interaction and support of a warm community. It provides the proverbial village that parents and children need as they journey through the formative toddler years.

All those who are interested in learning more about the Parent-Toddler can visit our website. Gladwyne Montessori is currently accepting enrollment for the fall.

Gladwyne, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/12/2020 -- While many unforeseen changes have taken place in the U.S. over a very short period of time, Gladwyne Montessori's Elementary teachers are finding creative ways to support students in their learning through the school's Distance Learning Program.

At 4 p.m. on Thursday, May 14, 2020, nine Elementary students will put their comprehension of 53 books to the test through a virtual Reading Olympics competition. Led by Team Captains, Tala Qubain and Chimere Nze, Thursday's competitors have their eyes on the blue ribbon!

Montgomery County Intermediate Unit's (MCIU) annual Reading Olympics competition is a countywide reading event that encourages students to increase the quality and quantity of books they read for enjoyment. The Reading Olympics Program is based upon the belief that good reading habits form the foundation for a productive and successful life. Due to the unforeseen changes that have taken place due to COVID-19, the in-person Reading Olympics competition was cancelled.

Under the leadership of Gladwyne Montessori's Librarian, Sacha Page, Gladwyne Montessori's nine-student team (the Mind Readers) decided to split into two teams in order to host Thursday's virtual event. Students have embraced the challenge of ensuring that their smaller teams are positioned to respond to questions about all 53 books on the 2020 Reading Olympics Elementary School Book List.

Thursday's event will be hosted virtually and will include three moderated rounds, each containing 40 questions. Gladwyne Montessori faculty and staff will be serving as moderators, time-keepers, and scorekeepers for this event. Round 1 will be moderated by Upper Elementary Teacher, Jemma Lloyd-Helliker; Round 2, Lower Elementary Assistant Teacher, Dan Stearne; the final round, Head of School, Carrie Kries. Teams will have 20 seconds to respond to each question (if answered incorrectly, the question will be posed to the other team). Teams will use a conference phone line to confer with one another during their allocated response time. Responses will be given by Team Captains. Results from both teams will be tallied and submitted to MCIU.

YOUNG TODDLER: In this class, children ages 12 to 23 months are introduced to classic Montessori curriculum, with a focus on language and the development of motor skills. With 15 students and three teachers in the class, each child receives ample individual attention and encouragement.

PARENT-TODDLER: This class integrates at-home and school-based learning, offering an opportunity for children between 12 and 23 months of age and their parents to grow together under the guidance of a Montessori-trained teacher.

TODDLER: In this independence-focused class, children are free to explore their environment, observe their peers, indulge their curiosity, and express their creativity. They learn personal hygiene and self-care skills, including how to use the restroom and how to serve themselves a meal.

Gladwyne, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/07/2019 -- As a Montessori private elementary school serving children in the Wayne, PA community, Gladwyne Montessori is committed to providing a first-class education to each and every child who walks through their doors. This month, Gladwyne Montessori is taking the opportunity to highlight some of the unique benefits of a Montessori education in comparison to a traditional curriculum.

Firstly, a cornerstone of Montessori learning is the one-on-one attention and smaller class sizes that emphasize individuality. Unlike traditional schools, children are encouraged and supported as they learn at their own pace.

Further, unlike traditional educational programs where children are grouped by age, Montessori classrooms provide mixed-age settings that imitate the a realistic work environment, with older children developing leadership skills as they give guidance to younger students and younger students observing and desiring to take on the tasks that their role models participate in.

Lastly, Gladwyne Montessori focuses on in-depth understanding of material, not the memorization of facts needed to score high on a test. Standardization of thinking isn't celebrated in this child-centered environment. Instead, Gladwyne Montessori emphasizes the importance of children exploring their personal interests by providing the freedom they need to become lifelong learners.

Those who are looking for a Montessori-centered private elementary school or for educational programs for 2-year olds in Bala Cynwyd should not hesitate to drop in and visit Gladwyne Montessori today!

It provides a safe place for parents of children ages 12-24 months to talk about their pressing parenting questions while simultaneously making new friends of their own.

A supportive group environment such as this gives participants the opportunity to share in the joys, and the unavoidable challenges, of parenting.

Although all parents can benefit from this educational class, those who are first-time parents or those who may not have family close by will find wonderful support during this exciting yet somewhat intimidating time in their parenting journey by enrolling in this program. Topics of discussion range from sleeping, eating, temperament, discipline, separation, development, toilet learning, emotional development and more.

For one hour and fifteen minutes, the participating toddlers are free to explore their environment, which will have been set up specifically for them. The developmentally appropriate activities and materials expand and change all throughout the year to meet the ever-changing needs of the children. Children are also provided with a wholesome snack.

Gladwyne, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/29/2019 -- This Friday, April 26th, Gladwyne Montessori will be proud to host the renowned artist Leo Sewell to provide a presentation to Gladwyne students.

A Philadelphia resident since 1974, Sewell is what is often called a found object artist, creating sculptures out of recognizable personal objects that are no longer useful to their previous owner. Featuring many naturalistic themes such as animals, Sewell began developing his technique as a child, collecting and tinkering with objects from the woods and nearby naval-community dumps. Today, his art is featured in exhibits around the world, having produced 4,000 works over the past 50 years.

As a private elementary school near Wayne, PA, Gladwyne Montessori believes that Sewell's art has much to contribute to the world of Montessori education as well. With personal exploration and curiosity going to the heart of his work, Mr. Sewell will be showing Gladwyne students how he sculpts and produces his art while also inviting them to participate themselves. On April 1st, students began collecting unused objects in the main lobby in preparation for the event, culling together items such as belt buckles, license plates, wooden toys, rulers, and even broken cameras for Mr. Sewell's demonstration.

Mr. Sewell's artistic passion also has much in common with the spirit of Makerspace. As a space for exploring and promoting artistic creativity, problem-solving, and experimenting with technologies of every kind, children at Gladwyne have much to learn from an artist who built his life's work simply by experimenting with the seemingly plain objects that fill our everyday lives.

To learn more about the presentation, parents and community members are encouraged to reach out to Gladwyne Montessori, a private elementary school near Ardmore, PA, today by visiting https://www.gladwyne.org/.

Gladwyne, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/02/2019 -- As the leading Montessori preschool near Wayne, PA, Gladwyne Montessori is proud to announce that they will be hosting a workshop with TechGirlz on April 25th from 6:00 PM — 8:30 PM, to help students learn about infographics and their role in our daily lives.

In the modern world, pictures are used to help us learn, understand, and recall information better, which is why increasingly more businesses are utilizing infographics to persuade their customer audience, relate a story, and display their data in a visual and relatable way.

To acquaint today's children with contemporary trends, this workshop will teach students about how infographics are frequently used to raise awareness of brands, sell products on social media, and how they are used on visually-oriented social media platforms such as Pinterest. Students will learn about the difference between good and poor research, collect information on a topic of their own choosing, and then make use of a free, online tool called Piktochart to create an infographic from the data collected.

The April event is to be held in the existing makerspace, which Gladwyne Montessori is currently raising money to expand. The makerspace is dedicated to creating more opportunities for kids to extend their Montessori education through industrial and creative STEM experiences, exploring kids' intellectual pursuits in fields such as woodworking, robotics, ceramics, and printing.

Gladwyne, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/10/2018 -- Gladwyne Montessori offers unique literacy learning opportunities to help students refine their reading and writing abilities. The development of these fundamental skills encourage students to become lifelong learners.

The Gladwyne Montessori elementary program near Wayne, PA, supports students' literacy learning through three key methods: classroom teaching, small reading groups, and Writers' Workshop. First, teachers provide language lessons in the classroom. These lessons introduce students to key concepts and help them develop confidence as language learners.

This classroom language material is complemented by small group literacy instruction, which is offered by literacy specialists. In these lessons, students learn the skills and strategies needed to become effective readers. In small group settings, direct instruction focuses on comprehension, fluency, decoding, word study, and vocabulary development. Students demonstrate their understanding of text through art, drama, cooking, writing, and technology experiences. The ultimate goal of this small group instruction is to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills while instilling a love of reading.

In Writers' Workshop, Elementary students apply the knowledge they have gained in their language lessons and small group reading instruction. They learn to successfully communicate their own ideas through text while developing a unique voice and style. They learn the power of words — both in prose and poetry — to explain research, express opinions, share small moments, and entertain others.

Gladwyne Montessori combines the teachings of Dr. Maria Montessori with modern technology to offer an incredible education to toddlers, pre-Kindergarten, and elementary-aged students. Its goal is to help each child become confident, curious, and academically accomplished.

Gladwyne, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/27/2018 -- Students attending Gladwyne Montessori, a Montessori school near Wayne, PA, direct their own learning, expand on curriculum, and foster a sense of creativity by completing activities in the school's makerspace, whose location serves to facilitate constructing, learning, exploring, and sharing while building upon a child's innate strengths, unique skills, and ability to think creatively.

In Gladwyne Montessori's makerspace, an extension of the classroom environment, students are inspired to conceptualize ideas differently through individualized exploration in art, engineering, entrepreneurship, and problem-solving, instead of functioning within a traditional learning system that was designed to cater to standardized testing and collective, non-individualistic thought. Instead, students

Exploring these disciplines with a range of tools, materials, resources, and programs, learners are never given a checklist or told when a project comes to fruition. Instead, they explore on their own, developing problem-solving skills, ideas and philosophies that are individual to their experience and understanding of the task at hand. This format, or lack thereof, pushes students' boundaries; it challenges them to develop solutions, fostering gainful habits for success.

The focus of Gladwyne Montessori's makerspace is the process of exploring. Rather than focusing on the end-product, concentrating on the steps it takes to realize a task—and accomplish a goal—gives students the opportunity to understand its production as a function of smaller tasks or actions.

Gladwyne, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/11/2018 -- A prominent Montessori school near Bryn Mawr, PA, Gladwyne Montessori, teaches students to use structure and curiosity to help them find answers and understand meaning in the world.

Gladwyne Montessori believes bringing the Montessori Method into the home is the most effective way to ensure that the values instilled in children during their time at a Montessori school are learned and consistently encouraged. The best way for people to ensure that the Montessori learning method ideology has its place in their home is for them to become part of the method themselves.

During the summer months, parents can encourage their children to participate in activities that make them feel curious and generate questions. Urging children to spend time outside is an effective way to make them interested in the world around them. Of course, one can use many instances as great moments for learning to take place as well.

Promoting children's involvement in household chores such as cooking and cleaning keeps their mind active and instills an understanding of the value of order. Cooking is an especially great practice for adolescent Montessori learners, as the multitude of options allows them to use their curiosity to learn, ask questions, and understand the significance of timing and multi-tasking.

Parents' interactions with their children are crucial moments that act as signifiers for what is allowed and supported in the home. If parents encourage their children to use their curiosity as a means of learning and urge their children to question "why?" in everyday tasks, the Montessori Method will find a pervasive and effective space within any learner's home.

Gladwyne, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/26/2018 -- Gladwyne Montessori's Parent/Toddler program is a parent's first introduction to the Montessori classroom and provides a safe place for parents of children ages 12-24 months to discuss their pressing parenting questions while also making some new friends of their own. This program is an exceptional opportunity for parents to learn together while bonding over the knowledge that they are all experiencing similar developmental milestones and challenges in raising their young toddlers.

A certified psychologist leads the program, equipping parents with the tools and information needed to support the growth of their child. The group environment allows parents to meet other new parents who are undergoing similar challenges and milestones alongside one another.

For an hour and fifteen minutes, the toddlers are free to explore the environment, which has been set up specifically for them.
