A Beautiful Day Montessori Announces Openings for Fall 2009

My son’s fabulous preschool, A Beautiful Day Montessori Preschool in NE Portland, has some openings for Fall 2009 for children ages 2 ½ - 6, and I want to help get the word out!

 Mariah Stewart-Hencke, the AMI-trained guide & director, is superb with small people and has created a calm, appealing classroom that houses a wonderful mix of dynamic, intriguing things to do and peaceful, contemplative space. There’s a complete set of Montessori materials & creative supplies, a big outdoor greenspace (they trek outside in just about all weather), organic snacks, and a neat combo of independent and group exploration & discovery. We have been so very happy with and impressed by the high caliber of the guidance, instruction, care, and environment.

 What we love most is how our child (now age 4) has blossomed the past year. After a short stint at another preschool that was an okay-but-not-incredible fit for him, he has really found his place at this in-home preschool with a teacher who is guiding him through amazing leaps in social/emotional, academic/intellectual, and personal growth. We're so glad we transferred him—phew! What a joy to find a preschool that is a great match.

 Currently, the school offers a four-day program: Monday through Thursday, 9am-12:30pm. The website has lots of info and will give you a good feel for the place: http://www.abeautifuldaymontessori.com Or call Mariah directly at 503-358-7335, or email her at info [at] abeautifuldaymontessori [dot] com . Hope this info helps parents looking for that “amazing fit” for their child!  --Caitlyn H., happy parent

Montessori Childcare in Southeast for 2 & 3 year-olds Fall 2009 (SE Portland)

I am seeking five 2 and 3 year olds for childcare in my home beginning in October of 2009 through May of 2010. I have my diploma for primary AMI Montessori teaching (ages 3 to 6), my Masters in Education (specializing in primary Montessori), one year experience in the classroom and three years experience as a nanny.

I will provide age and developmentally-appropriate Montessori works, toys and group activities, help with the potentially new experience of interacting and socializing within a community of other children, while promoting independence in each child. I like to share food preparation activities, music, reading, art, outdoor experiences and yoga. I am happy to help with potty training and experienced with food allergies. I try to run an eco-friendly house and am a fan of organic, local foods. I have plants, a silly and very cute small dog and a beautiful fish tank for children who enjoy animals. My home is conveniently located just South of Mt. Tabor & Division on Bus Route 71. The property has a fenced backyard with a garden and Clinton Park just around the corner.



I am registered with the Childcare Division of Oregon, have my first aid and CPR certtification, my food handler's card and plan to make my home a Registered Family Childcare Home with the Childcare Division of Multnomah County by July. My rate is $300 a month for fifteen hour weeks, $550 for 35 hour weeks. I am asking families to committ to a minimum of fifteen hours per week.

Advice/Feedback on sending young child to Montessori (at 16 mos)

Our son just got in off the wait list for Montessori of Alameda to start in January (he'll be 16 months). I really like their program and am impressed with the school but I'm worried that 16 months is too early, especially since he has to go a minimum of 4 days per week. That seems like an awful lot to me. I currently work 3 full days/week but will have to change my schedule to work 4 days (9-2:30 instead of 9-5:30). Our son is a very social kid and enjoys being around other children (at the library, in swim class, play dates, etc.) so I think he will thrive with the interaction with other children I just don't know if I should be doing this at his age. If we pass up our spot then most likely he won't be offered another one until July (he'll almost be 2 yrs). We currently have an at home nanny 3 days/week.

Does anyone have any experience in sending their child either to Montessori or other daycare at this age - for 4 or 5 days/week? Advice on how to make the transition easier? Or if we should pass up the space and wait until he's a bit older? Currently he cries every time I leave him with the nanny at our house and I worry that it will be even harder in a new place (without the comfort of home). The crying stops a few minutes after we leave and then he is fine the rest of the day but the goodbye is very hard.

The Garden School has two openings

The Garden School is a Montessori toddler community nestled inside a home in NE Portland. The teachers offer a wealth of experience from outdoor school and gardening to language and music. Our intention is to create a natural and peaceful environment that allows the toddler to follow his inherent wisdom with gentle guidance.

We currently have two spaces available for walking children between the ages of 13 months and two years old. Please contact us through our website at http://www.the-gardenschool.org or by emailing us at info@the-gardenschool.org.

A Beautiful Day Montessori, NE Pdx

I want to RAVE about about son's school, A Beautiful Day Montessori in NE Portland.  My son was the second child to enroll in this brand new school last year.  Unfortunately, enrollment has not increased and I wonder if moms and dads just don't know about this wonderful opportunity that exists for the exemplary education and experience available for their preschoolers (3-6yrs).

Mariah, the owner and AMI guide, has beautifully  transformed the main floor of her home into the most inspiring classroom I've ever stepped into.  It also has huge windows that look out over the backyard where my son enjoys digging up potatoes and picking strawberries while learning botanical names for several of the plants and trees.

I strongly encourage you do check this Montessori preschool out.  It does not matter if you plan on continuing a Montessori education after preschool.  This stage of brain development is such a foundation for the rest of their lives.  I feel that my son will greatly benefit for the years to come from  his time at A Beautiful Day Montessori with Mariah.  He has leaned so much as his natural curiosity of the word has been inspired daily. He tells me, " I think Mariah knows everything, even though she is a human."  I told him he should tell her that :)

My hope is to help like-minded parents on the east side discover this brand new little treasure.  Once word-of-mouth gets out, I think this school will touch the lives of many Portland families.  If you want a school that will help you instill the love of learning in your child, then this could be a great place for your child to spend some quality time in their younger years.

If you would like more information please call Mariah at 503-358-7335 or www.abeautifuldaymontessori.com
I hope you will !!!

Part of what makes the urbanMamas community so fruitful is how you all share information you find, so other families can share the wealth of information!  Thank you Kerlin for the following:

I just wanted to spread the word on a wonderful little school I just found and am going to sign Adin up for this fall. Its called Indigo Children Montessori.  The teacher is wonderful and warm.  It is in a home with beautiful mosaics, a cat, hermit crabs, and fish. Best of all (for me anyway) it is super affordable. $325 for five mornings a week. She is having her last open house this Saturday from 10 til 12.  It is in the NE near Sandy and 63rd.
