Will assist Lead with supervising children, leading lessons, cleaning, classroom setup, maintaining a constructive environment and other duties as prescribed by Lead. A soft voice and peaceful demeanor a must. At Bluebird Montessori, we believe that the most essential component to successful learning and retention is Maria Montessori's assertion that learning should be joyous -- best symbolized by the "bluebird of happiness." Joyous, experiential learning in the formative years helps children discover their individual talents and interests, while inspiring a lifelong passion for learning. Through the safe exploration of the world around them (and the loving support of their teachers!), children continually reach new levels of independence, a trait which Maria Montessori demonstrated is essential to self-confidence and success. While independent exploration builds on individual interests and skill sets, regular peer-to-peer learning simultaneously helps foster and reiterate respect for others.
