Montessori in the Home
2018-03-14 17:30 - 18:30
Have you ever wondered why your child does things at school
that they don’t do at home? Our experts will present different
ways in which your home can be set up to mirror the Montessori
classroom environment, and the positive effects that this will
have on your child’s development. Come and learn how you can
set up areas in your home so your child can be as independent
at home as they are at school. We will give you tips for setting
up areas in the bathroom, kitchen, living room, bedroom, and
even outdoor space!

Language Development in 0-3 Year Old Children with ARC
2018-02-21 17:30 - 18:30
The first three years of life are a critical time for language and
speech development in children and it is during this time that
the foundation for future literacy is formed. Join the panel of
Academy Nursery teachers to discuss the progression of language
development for children aged zero to three years old. The panel
will describe milestones and ways to facilitate early language
acquisition with the objectives to identify and strategize best
practices in the classroom and what families can do to promote
language development at home. Emily Robin, Speech Language
Pathologist, will be present to share information and resources
regarding language intervention and how she provides clinical
guidance and consultation for the Academy community. All
nursery families are welcome!

Strengthening Self-Regulation and Executive Functioning Skills by Achievement and Resource Center (ARC) Team
2018-02-01 17:30 - 18:30
“Executive function and self-regulation skills are mental processes
that support our ability to plan, organize, control our impulses,
make safe, healthy choices, and engage in positive behavior.
They depend on three types of brain function: working memory,
mental flexibility, and self –control.” Some children require more
focused support to better develop executive functioning and
self-regulation skills. Meghan Greeley, Social Worker, and Sima
Rashidianfar, Occupational Therapist, will share strategies and
tools for promoting development of self-regulation and executive
functioning skills for Primary and school-aged students.
