Angel Montessori – Daycare

Top

Our Technique

Love and Logic is a way of working with children that puts parents and teachers back in control, teaches children to be responsible, and prepares young people to live in the real world, with its many choices and consequences.

Our Staff

The staff at Angel Montessori strives to develop children’s positive attitude toward learning, combined with high self-esteem, confidence and independence.

Our Difference

We offer a specifically planned, stimulating environment which affords children the opportunity to develop foundational habits, attitudes, skills, and ideas necessary for a lifetime of creative thinking and learning.

Outdoor Exploration

Outdoor play is a regular part of the school routine. We encourage active fun with the use of tricycles, climbing structures, balls, and imaginative games.</p>
<p>Our outdoor area is filled with trees, flowers and classroom planter boxes. Children have the opportunity to dig for earthworms and enjoy birds, butterflies and the children’s favorite – rolly polly bugs!

Music and Movement

We feel that music and movement are essential parts of an early childhood curriculum. Children at our school participate in Little Music Maker activities. These activities are research-based and support children’s developing tonality and rhythm. Children learn songs, instrumental play, and movement activities throughout the day.

Artistic Expression

In early childhood, art should emphasize the process, and not the end product. We strive to maintain the joy a child finds in creating something of his or her own. In our school community, children are given the freedom to explore their imagination through a variety of art media.

Register Today!

We believe the goal of early childhood education should not be to fill your child with facts, but rather to cultivate your child’s own natural desire to learn. We offer 5 classes for ages 6 weeks months to 5 years.

Angel Montessori offers two tuition options based on the calendar your choose for your child. Tuition Option 1 has fewer days off in the school year. Tuition Option 2 has more days off in the school year. Contact us today to schedule a tour!

TUITION INFO

VIRTUAL TOUR

In the Montessori program, parent involvement is considered crucial.

Parents are the link between the home and the school. Our philosophy is to maintain continuity between the the school and home through the participation of parents. We have multiple parent activities to build this continuity, including classroom observations, parent education events, holiday events, and parent-teacher conferences.

Parent involvement is greatly appreciated in our school community. We are grateful for the parental time that is donated to running and improving your child’s school.

Preschool for the Soul

We believe the goal of early childhood education should not be to fill your child with facts, but rather to cultivate your child’s own natural desire to learn.

Family Connections
Kids Loved

Our teachers foster the desire to learn through the following areas:

Practical Life Exercises

In this area, children develop coordination and motor skills while experiencing everyday activities. They become confident while learning good work habits.

Sensorial Experiences

Since young children take in their world through their senses, this area helps children distinguish, categorize, and relate new information.

Language

In the Montessori classroom, children learn the phonetic sounds of letters before they learn the alphabetical names in sequence. They are encouraged to explore books to find answers to their questions.

Sensorial Experiences

Since young children take in their world through their senses, this area helps children distinguish, categorize, and relate new information.

Physical Geography

Children learn common land formations, such as islands and peninsulas. Large wooden puzzle maps are used for children to learn countries, climates, and products.

Mathematics

Math is learned through discovery rather than by verbal instruction. Children have tangible items to move as they learn to count. Montessori develops an early enthusiasm for the world of numbers.

    When Should You Consider a Therapeutic School?

    It is a heart-stopping moment for any parent when you realize that your child needs much more help than you can give him at home and at his current school. Perhaps a therapeutic school is the answer.

    Max was made a “pawn” in the political game — News — Forbes Kazakhstan

    The Texas sheriff is sure that the Russians should not worry that the investigation into the circumstances of Max’s death will be carried out in a slipshod manner, BBC reports.

    Autopsies in the US are usually performed within 24 hours of death and take 2 to 4 hours. According to the American media, the preliminary results of the autopsy of Max Shatto (Maxim Kuzmin), which took place in the Texas city of Fort Worth on January 22, were reported to local authorities on the same day. They are not required to disclose them. And in this case, we decided not to.

    Therefore, people in Texas are perplexed from where Pavel Astakhov and Konstantin Dolgov could have obtained the information they voiced about the circumstances of the boy’s death. Police and guardianship authorities say they did not share the relevant data with anyone.

    “I’m glad they have x-ray vision and that they saw some kind of report,” county medical examiner Hector Sondra Wood snidely remarks about the Russian allegations.

    “The Russian government appears to be confident that it knows exactly what happened and is famously reporting it to the whole world,” sneers publicist Eric Nicholson in the Dallas Observer. “Or maybe it just sees it as an opportunity for in any case, the dead three-year-old boy has now become a pawn in the international struggle.

    Nothing like the movies

    The final autopsy report could be made public as early as next week, as it usually takes 4 to 8 weeks to prepare in the US. In this case, however, they even talked about 12 weeks, and then the results of the autopsy may not be announced until sometime in April.

    “The Russian government seems to be confident that it knows exactly what happened and famously reports it to the whole world”

    Eric Nicholson,
    publicist Dallas Observer

    Maxim died on January 21 at 5:43 p. m. in hospital about an hour after his adoptive mother, Laura Shatto, called 911 to report that the boy was unconscious in the yard.

    As she told the police, Max was playing in the yard with his 2-year-old brother Christopher (Kirill). The foster mother went into the house to use the toilet, and when she returned, she found Max lying on the ground next to the swing.

    As experts note, the Western citizen has been accustomed by countless detective television series to the fact that the results of an autopsy and analysis come to the investigators at lightning speed. No wonder the public was taken aback when the autopsy results on singers Whitney Houston and Amy Winehouse took so long to arrive.

    In fact, say forensic experts, toxicological, histological and microbiological analyzes take weeks and months.

    Assays are complex, time-consuming and often performed in laboratories where there is a lot of such work. Sometimes tests for fidelity are done several times. It happens that they have to be done in other cities, where there is more advanced equipment. It is noted that due to budget cuts, analyzes in some places take even longer than usual.

    Complaint on the day of death

    Until the final results of the autopsy, the authorities withhold conclusions, although the guardianship authorities have taken the Shatto house under special control. It lies in the fact that social workers regularly visit there to visit little Christopher.

    “Astakhov’s criticism of international adoptions of children by foreigners sometimes takes on a somewhat insane character”

    New York Times

    Child welfare spokesman Paul Zimmerman stated that they had no previous complaints against Shatto, although on the day of Max’s death, someone approached them complaining that the boy was being mistreated and left unattended. Zimmerman declined to say who exactly the signal was coming from.

    Until last year, Laura Shatto taught economics at a high school in Midland, Texas, where former US President George W. Bush grew up. Students speak well of her and say that she explained her departure from work as a desire to devote herself to caring for her foster brothers instead of sending them to kindergarten.

    “Nobody is under investigation yet because we don’t have autopsy results without which we can’t conclude what happened,” local Sheriff Mark Donaldson told the New York Times. According to him, there are three options: either death occurred as a result of a murder, or as a result of an accident, or for an unknown reason. The latter conclusion is made in 2-5 percent of cases.

    As Donaldson said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, the Russians have no reason to worry that he will investigate the circumstances of Max’s death in a slipshod manner. “A three-year-old boy died in my county,” the sheriff said. “For me, he lived in Texas and was a Texas kid. ”

    In the name of Astakhov

    According to the Christian Science Monitor, if it turns out that Max was a victim of ill-treatment, he will become the 20th adopted Russian child who died under suspicious circumstances. Over the past two decades, Americans have adopted approximately 60,000 children in Russia.

    Astakhov stated that the Americans are adopting Russian children in order to “pump out the population” of the Russian Federation.

    For comparison: according to the calculations of the Russian Ministry of Education, out of 170 thousand children adopted in Russia during the same period, 1220 died due to the fault of adoptive parents.

    “Russia is not the easiest country for children,” writes the Washington Post. about 2,000 children are killed every year. Russia ranks third in the world in terms of the number of suicides among teenagers. This figure is more than three times higher than in the United States. Every day, about 5 Russians under 20 commit suicide. ”

    On Friday, the New York Times devoted a lengthy article to Astakhov, who in 2001-2002. studied at the law school in Pittsburgh and called America his “second home”.

    Nevertheless, writes the newspaper’s Moscow correspondent David Hershenhorn, the law banning American adoptions could well be named after Astakhov, who was his “most vocal and visible instigator.”

    The author quotes critics of the children’s ombudsman who accuse him of hypocrisy, since two of his children studied in England and the USA, and the youngest was born in the same hospital in Nice where Angelina Jolie gave birth to twins.

    “Astakhov’s criticism of international adoptions at times takes on a somewhat insane nature,” notes an American journalist and recalls a press conference at which a Russian official stated that Americans were adopting a large number of Russian children in the Far East with a premeditated intention to minimize its population as much as possible. .

    Texas: Shall we? – travel and other — LiveJournal

    One cowboy, two cowboy. .. (Soviet cartoon, 1981)

    concepts. Modern Texas is energy, high-tech, Elon Musk, and the world’s largest medical center in Houston (where I, at one time, was lucky enough to work for 7 whole years).

    Where did the cowboys go? And nowhere, just do not rush into the eyes. As soon as you go beyond the four Texas pillars of Houston-Dallas-Austin-San Antonio, you will see huge ranches, huge herds, huge fields. Everything in Texas is huge. “Everything is Bigger in Texas”.

    And all this household needs to be looked after, which is what modern cowboys do. These are no longer refugees from civilization, not adventurers and adventurers, but completely sedentary businessmen-millionaires. Today’s cowboys are full of well-to-do people who ride a horse around their property in the morning and a Bentley Continental to a 3-star Michelin restaurant in the evening.

    “Where does the money come from, Zin?” Texas Longhorns with a good pedigree often “leave” at auctions for prices exceeding $40,000. And not so long ago, one very, very elite cow was sold for $170,000.

    But this was not always the case. The freedom of the Texas cowboy of the 19th century was very, very relative. Often they were hired by rich farmers and drove cattle for them from Texas to the northwestern states. These hauls were very long – up to six months, or even more, along dusty, exhausting roads. And it was all called the words “cattle drive”, i.e. literally “cattle drive”.

    It’s rare to see a real “cattle drive” even in Texas these days; we ourselves only happened a couple of times in almost two decades, and then, completely by accident. But there is a place where you can _guaranteed_ to witness this truly authentic Texas attraction.

    Not far from Dallas, in the town of Fort Worth, is located the Animal Farms (Fort Worth Stockyards) – a historic district that is even listed on the National Register of Historic Places of the United States.

    The place is absolutely “cowboy”, as it appears in westerns and books by Mine Reed and O. Henry.

    Everything from saloons and honky-tonk bars to excellent beef burgers and souvenir shops where everything is “made in USA” is here.

    And there are cows. Twice a day, at 11 am and 4 pm (see the schedule >>) they walk down the street in front of the crowd, accompanied by real cowboys. Every detail of the cattle drive – from saddles and headgear to boots and hats – is authentic and historically accurate.

    And if you are very lucky, you will even be allowed to sit on a longhorn on the sidelines. Despite their formidable appearance, they are very quiet and obedient.

    Texas Longhorn (eng. long horn – long horn) is a breed of cattle known for its characteristic horns up to two meters in expansion. Also, they have a wide variety of colors, from the classic palette a la Russian Cow Zorka, to pretending to be horses in apples, or even knight cow in tiger skin.

    Longhorns grow more slowly than domestic cows, but their reproductive period is twice as long.

    They also have a much longer lifespan, amazing resistance to disease and drought, and are able to survive on various types of plantations and pastures, which is not available to pampered domesticated breeds.

    The first cattle drives began in the 1850s, heading west to the California gold fields. If for the head of a longhorn in Texas in those days they paid $ 10, then in San Francisco it is already 20 times more. Within a decade, the California market had reached a glut, and Texan ranchers began to switch to the northern territories. The Civil War in the United States (1861-1865) slowed things down somewhat, after which the “cattle drives” resumed with renewed vigor.

    In 20 years, more than 4 million heads of cattle passed through Fort Worth alone, for which the city was even nicknamed “Cowtown” (“Korovinsk”).

    Shoulder straps usually started in the spring, when the grass sprouted, and completed before the first cold weather in the north. At the time of the trip, the herd was called “trail herd” (from the words “trail” and “herd”), and consisted of animals from several different owners.

    Such a “team”, in the amount of about 3000 heads, was served by a team of 12 cowboys, each of whom had his own clear duties. The chief (Trail boss) was the highest authority in the team, approximately like a captain on a ship, and received about 125 dollars a month. He was followed by a cook, who is often a doctor, with a salary of $60/month.

    His first aid kit was varied. Charcoal oil was used to control lice, and poultices made from prickly pear cactus were believed to help heal wounds. A tincture of cornflower flowers was used to treat diarrhea, salt and buffalo fat were used to treat hemorrhoids, and buffalo meat broth was simply drunk as a general tonic.

    Legendary cowboy rancher Charles Goodnight invented the chuckwagon in 1866 to make life on the road much easier. In fact, it was a covered field kitchen drawn by mules, in which food, utensils, a barrel of water, and tools were transported. The menu that the chef offered consisted of beef and buffalo steaks, stew, “chuckwagon chicken” (“field chicken” – bacon), “Pecos strawberries” (“Pecos strawberries” – beans), “Sourdough bullets” (“bullets dough” – cookies) and cowboy coffee with salt.

    Next up the hierarchy were ten drivers, often referred to as “thirty-dollar men”. Separately, there was a Wrangler – he drove a herd of spare horses (“remuda”), one for each team member.

    Usually, cattle do not move in a group, but are pulled out in a long line. A few natural leaders among the animals took their places in front (“lead steer”), while all the other cows lined up in an irregular line behind them. A herd of 1,000 heads could stretch along the trail for one or two miles.

    The drivers worked in pairs, one on each side of the line of animals. The best of the men were usually appointed “pointers” (Point), working at the beginning of the herd. The rest of the men controlled from the flank and took positions further back (Swing and Flank), while the “tractors” (Drag) brought up the rear of the procession.
