If you wish to withdraw your child from Montessori Moments, two weeks’ notice with payment is required.
The Montessori environment is unique. It cultivates an inner discipline that is the foundation for further learning and social development. Occasionally, the learning style of an individual child is not compatible with the climate of a Montessori classroom. If the Head Guide becomes concerned about the suitability of the Montessori class for your child, she will contact you to set up a conference.
Montessori Moments is dedicated to maintaining a safe, harmonious classroom environment for the optimal development of all of our students. Parents of children with excessively disruptive or hurtful behavior will be asked to withdraw.
The termination process:
- Your child’s Guide will contact the Head Guide at the earliest opportunity to identify any at-risk students & behaviors.
- The Head Guide will observe the classroom and provide the Guide with information and recommendations to address the child’s needs.
- The Guide will document specific incidents of behavior that are problematic or worrisome.
- If needs or problems are significant, the Guide & Head Guide will meet with parents, using observations about behavior patterns, and together, a plan will be created to address these needs.
- A written statement of goals and stargazing will be created by parents and Montessori Moments with a review date in place.
- If support from the family is not forthcoming, and/or the problems are of such severity that the climate of the Montessori classroom and the safety of the other children is in jeopardy or at risk, parents will be given a date in which the student will be removed from the classroom.
- Families that are asked to leave the classroom will be refunded any prepaid tuition and released from the contract.
