In honour of Teacher Appreciation Week, here is ou In honour of Teacher Appreciation Week, here is our first Teacher Feature! Meet Erika! “I thrive on the energy and sense of wonder that children bring to everything that they do. They see the world through fresh eyes and remind me to marvel and be grateful for the everyday things that can often be overlooked. Their laughter and joy is contagious and I never feel more alive than when I am engaged in children’s play. I also love how unreserved and genuine children are. They wear emotions on their sleeves that we tend to hide as adults and remind me that it is okay to cry when I’m sad, dance when I’m happy, and ask for a hug when I need one.” . . . . . #teacherfeature #howwemontessori #montessori #preschoolvancouver #kindergarten #play #ece #earlychildhoodeducation #childcare #parenting #kidsactivities #preschoolactivities #montessorieducation #montessorischool #vancouverbc #richmondbc #westcoastfamily #earlylearning #vancouvermom #vancouverkids #yvrmoms #childrenasteachers
The signs of spring are everywhere: the songs of b The signs of spring are everywhere: the songs of birds, blooming flowers, and rays of sunshine that make our jackets unnecessary. We were barely a block from Nido when the children began picking dandelions, carefully curating little bouquets of golden flowers until their hands were full. Some selected them slowly, adding each one to their collection with thoughtful care. Some noticed the long stems, while others peeled back layers and felt the texture between their fingers. Some collected them with the intent of offering them up as gifts, giving them to their fellow explorers as quickly as they picked them. Some of them asked for clipboards and markers, taking a moment to draw as we went along our way. Through the lens of an adult, dandelions are often seen as invasive: a weed, or something to be plucked and discarded. To the students, they are tiny treasures, there to enjoy, share, and collect. Their imaginations are infinite! . . . . . #imagine #stopandsmelltheroses #howwemontessori #montessori #preschoolvancouver #kindergarten #earlychildhoodeducation #childcare #parenting #kidsactivities #preschoolactivities #montessorieducation #montessorischool #vancouverbc #richmondbc #westcoastfamily #earlylearning #vancouvermom #vancouverkids #yvrmoms

She patiently waited, contemplating how she was going to use this material. We believe that providing children with time and space to explore for themselves supports the most meaningful learning. . . . . . #learningbydoing #experienceteaches #howwemontessori #metamorphosis #butterfly #montessori #preschoolvancouver #kindergarten #earlychildhoodeducation #childcare #parenting #kidsactivities #preschoolactivities #montessorieducation #montessorischool #vancouverbc #richmondbc #westcoastfamily #earlylearning #vancouvermom #vancouverkids #yvrmoms

Preschool is, for most of our children, their firs Preschool is, for most of our children, their first experience being apart from their families. A break is created in the continuity of their relationships, environments, and routines. Their worlds are expanding, but at first it can feel like they’re falling apart. But fear not! The Touch Teacher is the teacher that is assigned to support your child’s transition to Nido - comforting them through their feelings and introducing them to their new Nest. When caregivers trust the Touch Teacher to be the bridge between these two environments, home and school, children can feel that they can trust them too, opening up a new world of possibilities. . . . . . #attachment #separationanxiety #trust #trusttheprocess #firstdayatschool #montessori #preschoolvancouver #kindergarten #earlychildhoodeducation #childcare #parenting #kidsactivities #preschoolactivities #montessorieducation #montessorischool #vancouverbc #richmondbc #westcoastfamily #earlylearning #yvrmoms #vancouvermom #vancouverkids #fleeingthenest
We brainstormed what flowers we should plant in ou We brainstormed what flowers we should plant in our garden. We used a seed catalogue and pictures of real flowers to inspire us. We learned some new flower names such as Water Lily, Daisy, Hyacinth, Poinsettia. #languageandliteracy #explorationsinart #nidocommunitygardenproject #communitygarden #flowers #montessori #preschoolvancouver #kindergarten #earlychildhoodeducation #childcare #parenting #kidsactivities #preschoolactivities #montessorieducation #montessorischool #vancouverbc #richmondbc #westcoastfamily #earlylearning #vancouvermom #vancouverkids #yvrmoms
