LITTLE ELM’S FIRST MONTESSORI SCHOOL OPENS – ROBIN’S NEST MONTESSORI
LITTLE ELM, TX: Long time resident of Little Elm, Mrs. Robin Whitt a Montessori certified teacher is moving her licensed in-home Montessori of 5 years to a new location. The Licensed Center will be located at the corner of El Dorado and Clark Street in Little Elm. Located near the town Center of Little Elm, Robin’s Nest Montessori’s Mission is to provide quality Montessori education for children ages 3 to 6 “where children develop a love of learning which last a lifetime. “
Montessori is a form of early developmental education which emphasis independent learning within limits while respecting the child’s natural psychological development. By having mixed ages classrooms, students learn by choosing activities that relate to the days lesson plan. Montessori children are found to have better reading and math skills than their peers who attend traditional schools while also scoring higher on test measuring social development.
Seeing what Montessori did for her own two children is what inspired Mrs. Whitt to study and eventually owning her own school. “ I have always wanted the best education for my own children and was able to see the benefits Montessori education provided first hand. I noticed how the prepared environment provided independence, purposeful activities, and healthy social interaction. I want to be able to offer that to children right here in Little Elm.”
Robin’s Nest Montessori has a low student to teacher ratio where children can have individual instructions or in small groups. “Every child is different and every child learns at a different pace,” says Whitt. Classrooms consist of multi-age groups that allow children to build leadership skills and a sense of community. Every Teacher is certified in first aid and CPR and has a complete background check on file.
Events held at the school throughout the year include a Fall Festival with a pumpkin patch and a December book exchange. Always being Community minded throughout the year RNM holds collections for the Little Elm Food Bank and for the Salvation Army.
