1⃣8⃣   Montessori Country Day School

Tucked away in the serene country setting of western Flower Mound, Montessori Country Day School continues the Montessori Program that established its reputation in the community over 25 years ago.  Serving families for a second generation, children experience a home-like environment that creates a sense of security and comfort.  Small class sizes with dedicated and experienced teachers open the door to learning.

“A child’s work,” Dr. Montessori wrote, “is to create the man he will become.  An adult works to perfect the environment but a child works to perfect himself.” (Montessori 1967)

Each child follows an individualized lesson plan tailored specifically for him after careful observation and close attention by the teacher.  Children develop focus and attention.  They aspire to more challenging work after achieving success and building confidence.  Montessori method, philosophy and materials provide the ingredients for a strong foundation for academic excellence.

A traditional Montessori school, Montessori Country Day School follows the nine basic disciplines.  The four major areas of concentration are Practical Life, Sensorial, Mathematics and Language.  The Social Studies (Geography and History) and Physical Sciences complement the four basic areas.  Enriching these areas are art, music and perceptual motor skills.

2⃣0⃣   ISR with Debbie

 

With a focus on safe, customized, one-on-one lessons by certified Instructors, ISR’s survival swimming lessons emphasize health, ongoing program evaluations and parent education to deliver the most effective and safest results in the industry.  

 

 Lessons for a 6-12 month old focus on teaching the child to roll onto their back to float, rest and breathe, and to be able to maintain this life-saving position until help arrives. 

 Lessons for children 1-6 years old focus on teaching the swim-float-swim survival sequence. Children learn to swim with their head down; roll onto their back to float, rest, and breathe; and roll back over to resume swimming until they reach the side of the pool, where they can either crawl out or until they can be rescued.

Once the children are fully skilled they will practice ISR’s survival techniques fully clothed during lessons. It is recommended that children complete refresher lessons to help their in-water skill level grow with their physical development.

 Where:  Various locations 

When:  5 days per week, Monday through Friday, for 10 minutes each day.  

Ages:  Children may begin lessons at 6 months of age until 6 years of age.
