Being at Sunrise Montessori School for some time now, I have personally witnessed and have come to learn about the children. The children and their temperament vary and this also affects their behavior. To begin with, most children will always cling onto their parents, as it is a new environment and the routine of a child has changed. However, once the child has become comfortable with their environment, their teacher and made new friends, they will love going to school. This was my experience when sending my own daughter to Sunrise Montessori School. Nowadays, when my husband or I arrive to pick her up from school, she insists on playing for 5 more minutes with her friends and not wanting to go home. Sometimes she even says that we have come too early to pick her up!
My child is always looking forward to going to school in the morning. I feel relieved whenever I drop my child in the morning knowing my child is in good care. To me, my child's safety, health, and happiness is a top priority. Bonding between the teacher and the child, respect towards every child's thought, has a lot of importance in happy learning. The importance of cleanliness in the school shows and I find the washroom for the kids is amazingly clean. To me, this helps to provide a healthy and safe environment for children because they spend most of their time at school. So, maintaining cleanliness in school is vital for many reasons. This also creates an environment that is conducive to teaching.
He wants to continue going to the school. Sometimes I will mess with him and tell him you may not get to go back (of course I am just messing with him) and he will start crying. That's how much he enjoys going to the school. Not only does he value the friendships he has made there but he also loves the teachers, the food and the playground. The teachers are very caring and understanding of the children. My son comes home with a satisfied stomach from a healthy diet and he learns what the different foods are.
On a daily basis, my daughter is very excited to go to school. As a parent, I feel relived knowing that my daughter will have an exciting day planned by her teachers, have her friends to play with and have a great time. Most importantly, she will be safe. This is made possible by have a great team of dedicated staff and teachers who will ensure the health and safety of my child and all of the other children. This bond between the teachers and the children will greatly determine the wellbeing of the children and their ability to develop. The children also have a great place of learning and have the ability to explore based on their interest as well. This will build them into well-rounded individuals.
My daughter loves going to school on a daily basis. She is always so eager to see her teachers and all of her friends. She is always constantly engaged and learning something new everyday. There are days in which she does not want to go home but rather stay another "5 more minutes" to play with her friends. In my opinion, this is due to the strong bond that she has created with her teachers and friends. This is also because Sunrise Montessori School has provided my daughter and all of the other children with a great environment filled with lots of fun activities. Sunrise Montessori School has become her "second home" or her "home away from home". SMS really emphasizes on ensuring the quality of service provided is always excellent!
