Hey everyone, it's us, the students of T.E.C.! We're here to tell you about something super exciting that happens at our school: the STEAM Faire! It's a chance for us to dive into the things we're really curious about and show off our creativity.

'Tis the Season to be Jolly at T.E.C.! (And We Have a Brand New Home!)

At T.E.C., we believe that education is an adventure, a journey of discovery that extends far beyond the confines of textbooks and traditional academics.

"It is movement that interests the child in music, and it is by movement that the very tiny child can arrive at understanding music with considerable delicacy." ~ Maria Montessori

"This is my invariable advice to people: Learn how to cook- try new recipes, learn from your mistakes, be fearless, and above all have fun! " - Julia Child (Montessori Alumna)

Alison Carberry, a parent, observed a Montessori classroom and was impressed by the calm, orderly environment where students worked independently and respectfully. She noted the practical application of materials, hands-on learning, and the teacher's guidance in fostering deeper learning. Alison was inspired to incorporate Montessori principles at home, such as creating a checklist for her son to encourage self-direction and routine. Her observations highlight the benefits of Montessori education in developing intrinsic motivation, self-direction, and leadership skills.

Desmond, one of T.E.C.'s first students, is back! He's leading a new after-school cooking club where students will learn essential culinary skills, embrace cultural diversity, and develop financial literacy. Read more about Desmond's inspiring journey and the exciting program he's created!

"The greatest sign of success for a teacher... is to be able to say, 'The children are now working as if I did not exist." - Maria Montessori 

"The parent is the child's first teacher, and the home is the child's first school." ~Maria Montessori
