Our Annual Valentine's Day Tea Party
Montessori Thrive • October 12, 2022
At IMA we traditionally host a Valentine’s Day Tea to celebrate the day. In the Primary classrooms we do not exchange Valentine’s cards, treats or gifts. It is difficult for the young child to create his or her own Valentine’s and then subsequently ask the child to ‘give away’ his/her work. Instead, we host a special Valentine’s Tea where invitations will be sent to you (as the parents) to join us. We bake special treats with the children and enjoy having you as our guests. The children truly love this annual event!
Montessori and Reggio Emilia education are two popular educational philosophies that emphasize child-centered learning and holistic development. While both approaches share some similarities, there are also key differences between the two.
In a Montessori environment, discipline isn't something done to a child—it’s something developed within the child.
