For Low-Resourced Montessori Environments
Whether operating in an orphanage, a post-war setting, or a place of high poverty and adversity, Montessori schools situated in low-resourced, under-served locations often face a unique set of challenges such as:
…Difficulty acquiring and maintaining Montessori materials…
…Language complexities…
…Untrained staff…
…Cultural confusion about Montessori…
…Overcrowded classrooms…
…Rigid government bureaucracy…
…No electricity…
Having faced all of these complications over the years, I specialize in supporting such Montessori schools with their extensive and distinctive needs. Patience, creativity, flexibility, and strong grounding in Montessori principles are necessary for a Montessori program that will best serve the children. Particularly if the children are coming from traumatic backgrounds or extreme adversity, focusing on the Montessori principles are the best way to tap into the transformative nature of Montessori for children (and adults too).
Perhaps your school is already established but needs creative, customized ways to address challenges like incomplete training or inadequate resources. Perhaps your school is brand-new in a challenging environment and you need some technical Montessori guidance in getting started. Or perhaps you’re looking for creative ways to strengthen your Montessori program within the resources available.
Using the essential principles as the framework, I will work alongside you to offer the flexible yet robust Montessori support you need, adapting to the resources available and positively focusing on what is present and doable rather than on what is lacking.
