Montessori Parent Corner Nicole Leapheart

Embedding social emotional learning into the classroom is a powerful way to support student learning. Join us as we discuss how GTMS creates a supportive classroom climate to help students to feel emotionally safe, part of a community, motivated, and challenged while recognizing and managing emotions, being a good friend, controlling impulses, communicating effectively, and working with others.

Presented by Greene Towne’s own Lead Toddler Teachers, the Managing Difficult Toddler Behavior workshop explored the psychology, motivations, and practical solutions for toddler behavior.Please enjoy and share the recording of this free workshop, appropriate for any parent of a 1-3 year old child.

Primary Lead Teachers provide an overview of the academic and social-emotional curriculum in the Primary (ages 3-6 years) program at GTMS. The design of our multi-age program each year provides important skills and experiences that ultimately result in the powerful capstone Kindergarten year.  Teachers give examples of the unfolding complexity of Montessori work and how they create young leaders who are focused, creative, competent and confident. See what you have to look forward to with your child’s education at Greene Towne!
