Maria Montessori observed that children were intrinsically motivated to seek independence.

✨ When adults rush in to help, this disrupts the child’s concentration and causes them to be dependent and less likely to try things on their own. 😔

How can the adult nurture independence?
❇️Leave enough time for the child to accomplish the task
❇️Avoid helping the child with something you know he or she could do
❇️Invite the child to help you with tasks
❇️Have predictable routines

💓Happy Valentine's Day to all the cuties and their families that have come my way over the years💓

Dolores Palmerin transitioned in a tragic car accident last month. Her gentle presence is missed greatly. She touched the lives of many children and their families over the 6 years she served as an infant teacher at Santa Barbara Garden Montessori.
She would often be found tinkering in the garden at SBGM, trimming, planting, moving plants, fertilizing them....not because she was required to do so, but because she simply enjoyed it.
We will be planting a tree and creating a plaque in her honor. We miss her smiles and her beautiful loving heart....
