We would like to welcome all of our new families and returning families back to Manotick Montessori. We are delighted to announce that our final integration date was this past Monday, September 20th. The children are settling in incredibly well at a very early stage, due to the importance of integration.
We believe that all children need to feel secure and comfortable the minute they enter their new classroom and environment. Our process is to slowly integrate 2 to 3 children a day so that each child gets this opportunity to be properly incorporated into the classroom.
This way, the teachers and other children in the room have the time they need to introduce themselves and welcome their new classmates. This non-invasive relaxed experience immediately helps the new child feel comfortable in his/her new environment.
This not only is a peaceful experience for the child but also for the teachers and the parents.
