Lupine Montessori Nurtures Love of Learning

When you think back to your childhood, often the most nostalgic memories are those that elicit joy and wonder. And many times those memories are of school, the friendships made there, the lessons taught, and the teachers that touched our lives in big and small ways.

When I think back to my days in elementary and middle school, I am reminded of teachers that guided me and encouraged me to learn beyond what I knew and loved. One of my favorite memories is from English class and loving the written word but being afraid to read aloud to the class. My teacher read aloud with me, and the rhythmic sound was so calming that I raised my hand to read to the class nearly every day afterward.

As a parent, I knew I wanted my children to appreciate the many aspects of academia and be encouraged to use their education to make their world better for everyone.

My youngest child, my son, currently attends Lupine Montessori.

I am joyful that Lupine is a school that fosters wonder, curiosity, friendships, and a love of learning. I have already witnessed my son blossom, and I owe that to the family that Lupine has created within their walls.

When Lupine first opened its doors in August of two thousand seventeen, there was hope and excitement for giving children an education that would not only teach academics but also how to love the world and community around them.

Lupine had an enrollment of 11 wide-eyed and beautiful children, and now, just 5 short years later, 63 children are in their care.

I have seen firsthand how teaching the whole child has a rippling effect. Just as one tosses a stone into a pond, the wave of education touches everything a child encounters, from staff to parents, to siblings, to not-yet-known members of our community.

Lupine Montessori is expanding and is currently searching for the perfect location to educate our children in a peaceful atmosphere that would include a beautiful outdoor classroom. My son can’t stop talking about his journeys on Walkabout Wednesdays and how in nature, his imagination is allowed to run wild.

I am encouraged and thankful that Lupine wants to reach as many families as possible, and expanding the school to allow more enrollment helps foster the goal of “making the world more beautiful” one lesson at a time.

The parents and children of Lupine Montessori appreciate your support in this new endeavor and anxiously await the next adventure! I hope that in the very near future I will be writing to you with an update on the new, expanded school!
