Montessori Villa of The Woodlands

When researching Montessori’s one might have come across the word “guide” and wondered what it meant.

In a Montessori school, teachers are referred to as guides because they do so much more than simply teach.

At traditional schools, teachers usually stay at the front of the classroom and teach one lesson to the entire class at the same time. In Montessori schools, teachers travel around the classroom, giving individual and small group instruction. At Montessori Villa Mrs. Lynn & Mrs. Maria create a customized learning plan for each child based on their strengths and weaknesses. We work with each child’s individual needs based on careful and genuine observation.

Mrs. Maria, Mrs. Lynn, Mrs. Naushaba, Miss Isabel and Miss Mihed thank you for being multi tasking superhero’s who inspire and encourage our children!

Congratulations to our 1st graders! Ben, Cruz and Kanav have been in my class for the last 3 years! Excited to see you all doing wonderful things, to see you grow into gracious human beings and so so much more!!

Beautiful first day back!

Holiday Recital 2020

Fall Feast 🍂

Grateful for the children who humble us everyday. These young souls are daily reminders of life’s simple pleasures and the beauty of human kind. Autumn, though delayed in Houston, is a time where the children feel the leaves falling and gradually changing colors and the cool breeze. We have asked our landscaper to skip this week’s maintenance to truly observe the leaves and fall! We’ve spent news periods reflecting on what we are grateful for, how various cultures and people give thanks. Tomorrow, we will end the week with the children preparing a meal, setting a fall tablescape, and dining with their friends on one long table. 🍂

We finally have an official Instagram account!! Follow us at Montessori Villa!

Beautiful flowers brought by Elias and arranged by Abbott. The children are enjoying their lunch. They set up their lunch space with a cloth placemat and napkin brought from home.

Welcome Anika, Ames and Elias

Stop letting your kids stare at iPads in restaurants, science says

We know screen time is a hotly debated topic. Sometimes it’s fine to let our children relax and sometimes, as parents we need a break. But what about during dinner. We found this article interesting and are curious to know your thoughts.

Stop letting your kids stare at iPads in restaurants, science says It may seem innocuous and convenient, but research suggests that screens during meals have a big downside.

Sliding in to July like... this concludes our Summer Session 1.

See you July 8 for Summer Session 2.

Adam, a graduate of Montessori Villa returns this summer to volunteer. He attended from age 2 through 1st grade, 2007-2012. This fall he will be a freshman at The Woodlands High School.

Lovely to observe how he has grown into a well balanced individual.

His responsibilities are preparing material for the class, playing a team sport with the children (board games, soccer etc) and baking.

We ended the week by arranging flowers, setting the table and cooking an entire meal.

Summer 2019 has begun and the children are SO excited!

Still enrolling for July and Fall 2019!

Sneak peak to tonight’s wonderful graduation! As usual, the flowers planted by the children and parents this March were used by the children as they made flower arrangements for this evenings tablescapes.

Appreciating all of our educators!

Mrs. Keeley, Mrs.Blanca, Mrs. Mihed, Mrs. Naushaba and Mrs. Maria, thank you.

But, education begins at home - so thank you to our wonderful parents for your support, trust and dedication in helping us raise kind human beings.

Today, a bearded dragon joined our class. The children suggested the names and we drew one from a basket. After the children ate lunch, Muncher was hungry as well. They fed him crickets!

This week is Waite and Strickland’s snack week. Their family sends snack for the week, maintains the weeks laundry and provides a natural bouquet of flowers for the children to put in a vase and later create smaller arrangements around the classroom.

Today, from this practical life lesson we progressed to a language lesson.

The season and weather is a great time to introduce our young minds to nature. Enrich their experience and tongue with the names of leaves and flowers. We also noted the differences and can now recognize a sunflower from a yellow daisy.

Thank you to our wonderful families for such a beautiful and fun garden day!

Clear blue, sunny skies! Looking forward to this weeks garden (fri)day!

We ended our first day back from spring break with a birthday celebration! Happy 5th Birthday Abbott!
