Things to Remember

“Our mission is for our children to live a life of purpose.”

“Don’t let perfection be the enemy of getting things done.”

“Look into the past, to know what worked and bring it into the present.”

“Be kinder to yourself and enjoy, rather than trying to control everything.”

Sarah Harvey

“The greatest sign of success for a teacher is to be able to say, ‘The children are now working as if I did not exist.”

“The teacher has two tasks: to lead the children to concentration and to help them in their development afterward.”

Dr. Maria Montessori
