Words of wisdom

June 30, 2016

reach

It’s not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can’t tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it, myself.

— Joyce Maynard

We are teachers at the Brandon, Riverview, and SouthShore Montessori Schools — more than just a premiere school for young children in the Tampa area, we are an experience that prepares these young children to live the rest of their lives as whole competent beings. Here we will share our experiences, our research and observations, and our hearts.
