About Our Teachers


    

Our goals as teachers at IMCH and yours as parents are the same. We want to help you raise happy, well-adjusted children with inquiring minds and a joy for living. In the pleasant atmosphere of our school we provide for the physical, social, emotional, and academic development of your children.

The basic goal of the Montessori method is "normalization" of the child so that he/she becomes well-balanced, spontaneous, and able to utilize his/her capabilities to the fullest.

Some of the characteristics of such a child are the following:

· Ability to concentrate well
· Sense of personal dignity
· Independence
· Self-motivation
· Love of order
· Enjoyment of repetition
· Ability to work alone
· Self-discipline
· Desire for freedom of choice
· Pleasure and fufillment in work for its own sake--no need for rewards or punishment
· Obedience
· Preference for work over play
· Love of learning
