Birthdays mark special moments that carry immense importance in a child’s life. At Montessori Academy, we celebrate birthdays in a way that fosters meaningful connections and joyful learning. A Montessori birthday celebration goes beyond the typical cake and presents. In fact, in the classroom, there are no gift exchanges, and sharing call a small treat is a very minor part of the celebration. It embraces the essence of community, independence, and growth.
As parents and educators, ensuring our children’s safety and well-being is paramount. Teaching them about stranger danger and ‘safe’ strangers is a vital life skill that equips them to navigate the world with confidence and awareness. The Montessori approach, renowned for its child-centred philosophy, offers a great framework to educate children about this critical topic in an empowering and age-appropriate manner. This blog explores how Montessori Academy informs children about stranger danger while fostering their independence and self-assurance.
