Greg MacDonald, M.Ed., Renowned Trainer, Discusses Reasons Why on Tuesday, November 17, 5:30pm

SAN DIEGO - Nov. 4, 2015 - PRLog -- On Tuesday, November 17, 2015 from 5:30-7pm, Lifetime Montessori School (LMS) is proud to present an amazing trainer and teacher, Greg MacDonald, M.Ed., Director of Training for the Montessori Institute of San Diego, to discuss why you should continue a Montessori education for your child entering elementary school.

MacDonald, a 40-year educator who has been a teacher and principal at both traditional and Montessori schools—as well as a trainer at both traditional and Montessori schools--will discuss how Montessori philosophy shifts to engage and challenge your child as he or she enters a new phase of their development—ages six through twelve.

“Many parents see Montessori as a toddler or primary outlet for their children,” Kristin Edwards, M.Ed. co-founder of Lifetime Montessori School says. “When their boys or girls are ready for First Grade, many parents assume that the montessori programs available for their children have come to an end and begin exploring other elementary schools. But, when you continue at a Montessori elementary school, we continue the individualized learning, nurturing and caring approach to education that our parents have come to expect.”

Rather than just routing and warehousing your child into a world of rote learning with too few teachers, Montessori elementary schools continue to individually engage and challenge your children while teaching them the skills and concepts they’ll need for the real world. This is very important when searching for an elementary school for your gifted child. “Via the Montessori Method, we continue to teach your children skills for success in ways that the public elementary school cannot touch,” she said.

MacDonald is a renowned educator known for his innovative approach teaching teachers and parents alike. His talk will touch on how Montessori moves step-by-step and from-the-ground-up to continue moving each child’s potential forward.

From philosophy to psychology to practices, he’ll discuss the six-year elementary school journey incorporating theory, observation, practice, application and practicality toward building a well-adjusted, well-educated and well-rounded child entering middle school via the Montessori Method.

“Our theories, practices and results are to create students prepared for top upper schools and colleges” she said. 


Having an educator of the caliber of Greg MacDonald speak with parents of LMS says it all: Lifetime Montessori School is here to help your child in a way that few schools can: building the whole child. He will discuss the importance of focusing a great amount of attention on an individualized approach to educating your child.
