With the arrival of 2010, I’m ready to jump into cyberspace with some of my thoughts about early childhood education and our mission at Dancing Moose Montessori School. I’ve discovered that many families have been attracted Dancing Moose because they have heard good things from one of our enrolled families, they have noted our award for Best of State, or they simply found us under private school listings on the Internet. We are delighted to have interested families come to Dancing Moose for any reason, but we are most proud of our Montessori academic program that individualizes educational development for each child while maintaining adherence to state and national core standards for early childhood education.
