Geneva respects allergies and dietary preferences of individual students as notified by parents. We are a PEANUT FREE school which means that no peanuts or peanut products are used or permitted in the School. We request that families respect this policy.
When children first begin their education at Geneva, they do not have to be toilet-trained. We realize that it is not developmentally appropriate for typical young students to have fully mastered this skill until they are 3-3.5 years of age.
We realize that not all children are mature in their social-emotional skills. Instead, we realize that there will be many opportunities to teach sharing, cooperation, manners. Staff members use various techniques for teaching these skills, including distraction, redirection, modeling, giving choices, reading and role-playing situations, coaching, among others. Sometimes a child chooses to retreat to a quiet, cozy corner to collect emotions before feeling comfortable to return to a group or play situation.
A Purist Montessori program encourages children to select and explore independently activities of interest so as to acquire academic skills. This approach does not emphasize group learning or instruction in the arts.
We are considered a "traditional preschool" and intentionally teach the whole child in all developmental growth areas. We believe in having children learn in both large and small group settings, where they learn social skills and manners while engaged in rich programming such as Art, Music, Science, and Math.
We also allow children to use their unique strengths and interests to direct their learning individually or in groups.
