6137 Quiet Times Columbia, MD

I have been a teacher for the last 25 years and in 2000 I decided to open a home daycare that centered around Montessori teachings. In my time as a teacher and home daycare provider, I have taught reading, writing, music, art and math to young children. Under my care children will have circle time, story telling, exercise, and playground time. Teaching is my passion and I believe that teaching can begin as early as the age of one; I teach my children sounds of letters and before 3 years old, they are reading 3 lettered words. While I believe in teaching children core skills before they reach their school years, I also fundamentally believe in play. I love singing to my kids and enjoy dancing with them! I make sure that they have time to enjoy being outside and playing with their peers. I also serve free breakfast, snacks and lunch. Parents can also witness the progress and development of their kids through their projects and events that I host annually. I host holiday and seasonal parties that children help with. Parents can enjoy a program complete with a concert from their kids, food, and beverages. I hope to continue to serve the community and showcase my love for children through my home daycare.

We are a private, non-profit Christian Early Childhood Education Center conveniently nestled outside of Rockville, Silver Spring, Fulton and Olney near the I-cc. In addition to beautiful and inviting classrooms, we have fields to be explored and a playground with a view of horses that offer a wonderful place for imagination and physical activity to soar. The HVCLC Team works together to create a well-rounded curriculum based upon play and early literacy with teaching methods inspired by the Montessori and Waldorf teaching methods. A child’s view of the world that they live in and how they see themselves in it is greatly shaped by “play” and here at HVCLC, a lot of planning goes into all of that “play” which we love to share with our families so that they get to be a part of each day's activity as well. An additional element which goes into the curriculum of the program at HCVLV is God’s Word. This element of the program stands alone with regards to planning, but it can be found throughout the day in the discussions that are had, questions that are answered and in the way we treat each other and understand our world.

FAQs for finding Montessori schools near you in Columbia, MD

The way that Montessori schools differ from other educational approaches near you in Columbia, MD is by their philosophy. Montessori schools are unique because they emphasize a student-centered learning experience that differs drastically from traditional educational approaches. Montessori education focuses on allowing students to learn in their own way, promoting self-directed learning and exploration. Montessori emphasizes the development of the individual as well as academics, focusing on building independent critical thinking skills and cultivating independence.

Choosing a Montessori school near you in Columbia, MD for your child can be an important decision, as you want to be sure that the school environment is conducive to their needs. To ensure safety when selecting a Montessori school, research the accredited Montessori training that staff must have completed and look for reviews from other families. Learning about Montessori-specific philosophies such as respecting the needs of the whole child and individualized learning can also help you make an informed decision. Another way to determine if a Montessori school is right for you is by observing activities in the classroom, such as children working independently on tasks while maintaining order and cooperation with others.

Montessori schools provide tremendous benefits to children's development! Montessori education focuses on fostering independence, self-direction and problem-solving skills among students. Montessori classrooms are designed with developmentally appropriate activities that allow children to take ownership of their learning and investigate topics that interest them while also developing their physical and motor skill sets. Montessori teachers strive to create an atmosphere where students feel secure. The Montessori educational approach emphasizes a hands-on, cooperative environment where children can learn from one another in a non-competitive atmosphere.
