FREDERICK FAMILIES \\ EDUCATION
to dance joyfully into their limitless future ,” she stated . “ We will leave a compassionate legacy on our community .”
At Frederick Country Day Montessori , there is a long tradition of serving the community . Children are taught that compassion and caring for one another is part of who we are . Community work is designed to serve basic needs of others . Children and their families have collected and donated children ’ s books for Frederick Memorial Hospital , coats for Glade Valley Community Services , nonperishable foods for the Frederick Food Bank , women ’ s winter hats / scarves / gloves for Heartly House , personal hygiene items for Frederick Rescue Mission , lunch foods for Blessings in a Backpack , Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF and gently used children ’ s shoes for the Central American Relief Project in El Salvador .
A favorite project at the school is Grand-friends at Heartfields Assisted Living Center , where children donate valentines and provide musical performances twice a year .
Lessons in grace and courtesy are part of everyday work : Children learn how to freely and respectfully interact with each other , resolve conflicts , set a table , welcome a guest , use their best manners and to express their feelings . Children in a Montessori classroom are also free to help each other . A multi-age community is essential in
Montessori education , because it provides endless opportunities for children to help each other . Children beam with pride when they can help a friend ; helping builds confidence and deepens learning . The qualities of nurturing and compassion develop naturally in a Montessori community .
Frederick Country Day Montessori School is an international community of learners that embraces diversity and nurtures the development of happy , compassionate , lifelong learners . The school offers programs for children ages 6 weeks through kindergarten . Built as a Montessori school in 1997 , the school is situated at the entrance to the Dearbought Community in Frederick , off Md . Route 26 .
