父母问我最常见的问题之一是“如何选择蒙台梭利学校？”
我已经回答了这个问题这里。
我虽然将您介绍给世界各地的一些令人惊叹的蒙台梭利学校会很有趣。
今天，我很高兴向您介绍Funmi Rotimi -Ajibola，the founder of Milton Keynes Montessori school in the UK。It's a small preschool led by an amazing team.
我一开始在线遇到Funmi，因为她对我来说是本地人，我很高兴欧宝直播官网下载in her school for her parents.
Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? Your background, your interests, your family?
I am a mother of two teenagers - it's a scary stage but also fun. I am enjoying seeing how they develop their ideas and explore big topics. Obviously they have always been with me but I enjoy every now and then almost seeing them with new eyes!
我最初来自尼日利亚，但已经在英国居住了35年。我在赫特福德郡的莱奇沃思（Letchworth），然后是肯特大学的佩姆伯里（Pembury），伦敦大学的佩姆伯里（Pembury），在伦敦居住了几年后，与我的丈夫和孩子一起搬到了米尔顿·凯恩斯（Milton Keynes）。我不认为这是一开始，但是十年后，米尔顿·凯恩斯（Milton Keynes）感觉就像家一样！
Could you tell us a bit about your path to Montessori?
我想我会说我偶然发现了蒙台梭利教育。在我的学位结束时，在我的第一份工作之后，我很快意识到这也许不是我的道路！这与我4岁侄女没有在她选择的学校中占有一席之地的时期。由于某种原因，我决定在没有任何教育的任何事先培训的情况下，我将要完成教她的任务，直到她获得学校。现在回顾它，我可以说这不是一场完全的灾难，值得庆幸的是，她在几个月内就获得了学校。那几个月的研究，试图找到帮助她的方法，这引发了我内心的火焰。快进到几年后，我有我的儿子，并将他招募到当地的学前班 - 恰好是蒙台梭利。当我看到儿子的发展时，我一直在问老师的问题，并想知道更多。那些可爱的老师建议我训练蒙台梭利老师，其余的就是历史！
您已经建立了自己的蒙台梭利学前班。在英国建立学前班的旅程是如何的？
This was a very organic process. It was a meeting of minds between myself and 2 other colleagues as a school we were all working at was closing. I was a Montessori teacher and my other two had a degree in Education and a childcare qualification. Within 6 months or so of discussing opening a Montessori school, we had sourced premises, materials and had our setting registered by Ofsted! We worked incredibly hard and as mums with young children we all made sacrifices. The school has grown from those early days and I have been running the school by myself for a few years now.
您会对想了解蒙台梭利但不知道从哪里开始的父母说些什么？
我会说“不要从Instagram开始”。我非常强烈地认为，这些完美货架的图像本身会损害蒙台梭利。它可能变得不健康。
这是关于您与孩子的旅程，消除了他们的发展障碍，并为他们提供了充满爱心的界限。
I have some parents who have gone directly to Maria Montessori's books (kudos!), and others have started with books such as“如何以蒙台梭利的方式抚养一个了不起的孩子”蒂姆·塞尔丁（Tim Seldin）。
如果他们的孩子上蒙台梭利学校，请以老师的资源来学习 - 这就是我多年前在儿子的蒙台梭利上所做的！
What are the benefits of attending a Montessori preschool?
哦，很多！有研究表明，参加良好计划的蒙台梭利儿童在识字和语言技能，社交技能，执行功能和创造力方面表现出色。所有孩子都不同，但我对说蒙台梭利教育的基础对所有儿童都有巨大的好处感到充满信心。
Another huge benefit is how the child starts to change the dynamic of the family he comes from. Parents start adjusting and learning as they see the way their children are developing. There is a shift in the interaction, a new respect for the child and a deeper, conscious willingness to aid their child.
您有喜欢的蒙台梭利报价吗？
“我们可以给孩子的最大礼物是责任的根源和独立的翅膀。”
我喜欢这句话，因为我实际上已经见证了很多次。鼓励儿童掌握其活动和互动的环境会带来信心和自尊心。这些是实现不断增长的独立性的步骤！
您在教室里有最喜欢的蒙台梭利材料吗？
The Large Movable Alphabet. I find it simple but beautiful with the contrasting blue and red letters. I love the versatility of exercises you can do with them also:finding the letter, matching the letter to sandpaper letters, building words alongside objects or pictures to building sentences!
您对学校的未来项目是什么？
I would love to see a change where children are able to remain in their Early years settings till at least age 6. It is a shame that most children do not get to experience the whole 3 year cycle of the Montessori primary classroom in the UK.
通过父母教育班来提高对当地蒙台梭利教育的了解也将是很棒的。
