🌈At Maharishi Preschool we are cultivating with 🌈At Maharishi Preschool we are cultivating within each child a sense of independence and capability. 🌈When the children enter into the gates of our playground carrying their lunch and wearing their backpack, a sense of responsibility, independence, and capability is enlivened in them. 🌈They know where to put their belongings and they know where they are when they need them or when it is time to go home. 🌈During their time at school, they make many choices and their sense of capability grows each day. 🌈They are following their internal drive to master skills, grow, and learn, and by allowing them to be responsible for their own belongings, these qualities will continue to be reinforced. 🌈The sense of pride when children feel responsible in these small but significant ways is such a beautiful thing to witness! Go to www.maharishischool.org/preschool to see if our Preschool program is right for your child. #maharishipreschool #motessoripreschooliowa #montessorikids #montessoriinspired #bestpreschooliowa #Iowapreschool #kidslearningmontessori #maharishischoolstudents
