An Overview of Family Star Montessori School
Trierweiler, Ginny
NAMTA Journal, v39 n2 p123-130 Spr 2014
Family Star Montessori School is well acquainted with "under-three" child care having served 3000 children over the last twenty-three years. Many of the children come from below the poverty line and bring strong diversity to the enrollment of the program. More than half of our faculty are also diverse, coming from Peru, Bulgaria, Honduras, and Mexico, and classrooms are bilingual. Family Star has four Nido classrooms, seven toddler classrooms, and three primary classrooms, and many students are identified as mixed-age ranges. They provide year-round parent and family support, doctor visits, special education, including home-based learning, and conscious community building. This talk was presented at the NAMTA conference titled "Montessori from Birth to Six: In Search of Community Values," Minneapolis, MN, November 7-10, 2013.
