As parents, we all face an important decision when it comes to choosing a school for our children. It is every parents’ wish to be able to provide for their child a solid educational foundation, from which the children can develop their goals and fulfill their potentials.
Jakarta Montessori School is aiming to give your child the best possible beginning to develop themselves physically, mentally and emotionally. As a Montessorian, it is my sincere hope that your child, given the opportunity in our school’s prepared environments and with guidance from our specialized teachers, will develop a love for learning and achieve independence, self-confidence and self-esteem. As our Montessori Programmes are centered on the child, it encourages the foundation of interest in learning.
At Jakarta Montessori School, your child will be in a unique environment. Not only will they learn to work to the best of their ability, but also they will learn to care for and respect others, understand the meaning of sharing and, develop a natural curiosity of the world around them.
Too often I have been asked by parents .. “when is the right time for my child to begin to do things for themselves?”.. The answer is quite simple. A child needs to do things for themselves from the beginning of life, from the moment they are capable of doing those things. This urge is revealed again and again by your child. We have so often heard children of a few years old say “Help me to do it by myself”. By helping your child to do things by themselves you are helping the independence of your child.
Dr. Maria Montessori wrote in one of her many writings :
“We must help the child to act for himself, will for himself, think for himself, this is the art of those whho aspire to serve the spirit. It is the teacher’s joy to welcome the manifestations of the spirit, answering not fiaht. Here is the child as he should be; the worker who never tires, the calm child who seeks the maximum of effort, who tries to help the weak while knowing how to respect the independence of others, in reality the true child”. (Education for the New World)
I hope that our school will become your choice for your child as we have a lot to offer. Do not hesitate to contact the school for an appointment or to arrange to view the school at your convenience.
I wish you a warm and friendly welcome.
