Pacific Heights Montessori Children's Centre

When a particular sensitiveness is aroused in a child, it is like a light that shines on some objects but not on others, making of them his whole world." -Dr. Maria Montessori

About

Pacific Heights Montessori Children's Centre is owned and operated by Margo Bozena Trot and was first opened in July 2002. With 30 years of experience working with children, Mrs. Margo operates a childcare facility which promotes quality of life and embraces a wide variety of individual needs in a child. As an Early Childhood Educator with Montessori training she believes that a strong start to learning in early childhood is fundamental to a good start in school and in life. As a mother of her own two grown children she tries to bring her own experience, passion and love to her work.

Philosophy

Pacific Heights Montessori Children's Centre believes that it is essential to provide a nurturing environment for children as well as a support system for families. The centre provides a loving and supportive atmosphere in a caring and enriching environment, where the individual needs for the social, physical, intellectual, creative, and emotional development of each child (SPICE) are met. At Pacific Heights Children's Centre, the children will be encouraged to establish a positive self concept and will be provided with opportunities for active participation through play and work and positive interaction with peers, adults, and the environment.

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.' - Dr.Maria Montessori

Program

The childcare centre program provides experiences that meet the needs of the children and stimulate learning in all developmental areas.

Each child is a unique person, with an individual pattern and timing in growth and development. The curriculum and adult guidance are responsive to individual differences in ability and interests. Different levels of ability, development, and learning styles are expected, accepted, and used to design appropriate activities.

Interactions and activities are designed to develop the children's self esteem and positive feelings towards learning.
