Sunrise Montessori School Open House



Are you starting to look for a preschool or kindergarten for the fall? Or do you have a 3 year old that you think could benefit from starting before then? Consider Sunrise Montessori in Franklin. 
Sunrise will be having an Open House this Saturday, January 28 from 11:00am - 1:00pm. Please stop by to meet the teachers, discuss the program and explore the classrooms.  Sunrise has many great program options.  They offer half day programs as well as full day programs.  They also have the added flexibility of before and after school care for working parents.  Stop by and see for yourself!  Many people have questions about how a Montessori Education is different.  See the short blurb below or feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions.  I have had my children there for the last three years and can't say enough good things about the education they have been receiving. 
Montessori emphasizes learning through all five senses, not just through listening, watching, or reading. Children in Montessori classes learn at their own, individual pace and according to their own choice of activities from hundreds of possibilities. Learning is an exciting process of discovery, leading to concentration, motivation, self-discipline, and a love of learning.  Montessori classes place children in three-year age groups (3-6) forming communities in which the older children spontaneously share their knowledge with the younger ones.
