Montessori school opens new Lindon facility By Karli Poyfair City Editor The Montessori Learning Center has relocated relo-cated to Lindon after being in business in Orem for 19 years. The new building is located at 310 S. 400 West. A ribbon-cutting was held last Saturday along with an open house where visitors could tour the new facility. Ali Dances is the founder and director or this center. She says so far "We like Lindon, it's really nice." Her assistant and daughter, Angela Payne, said they "needed to upsize a lot." The school staff also seemed pleased and excited about the new building which includes large classrooms, a kitchen, and a playground. "It's a beautiful building and children will flourish with all the space and beauty," said Jean Buonforte, senior head teacher. The Montessori method is an educational system of learning that operates using- techniques tech-niques formulated by Maria Montessori in the late 1800s in Italy. It is a style of learning that uses multiple avenues of learning, thereby allowing the young child to learn in the ways intended by nature, through a hands on approach. Children learn through interacting with their environment. The Montessori method is one where an environment is set up with tactile equipment that invites the child, through its beauty and practical use, to experience concepts on many different levels. Children are guided by teachers, teach-ers, who are called "directresses" in the Montessori world. The classroom is set up with learning areas equipped to teach in five major areas of learning which are, language and reading, math, perceptual and spatial concepts con-cepts of length, depth, height, weight, etc., practical life, and an art area. The program offers learning in four different differ-ent classrooms. There is the Toddler Classroom designed for ages 18 months to 3 years. Then the Preschool for children 3 to 5 years old. The Jr. Classroom is for kindergarten to second grade. And the Sr. Classroom for those in third to fifth grade. Also offered is an extended care program for those needing care before or after hours. The center will offer enrollment for 160 students stu-dents in this and surrounding areas. Classes for staff, parents and the public on Emotional Intelligence have been offered through the Montessori Learning Center for over seven years now. These classes are offered in a workshop lasting eight weeks and held on a weekday evening. Those interested in learning more can call Ali Dances at 796-7672. All calls are welcome and tours are available by appointment only. It's hard to express how much your online newspaper means to our family! "I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your online newspaper. My sons both live out of state, so whenever I read something in the paper that will interest them, I just send them an e-mail with the newspaper article as an attachment It works great! "You recently published an obituary of my Father's cousin. My brother in Pocatello wanted a copy, but we had already thrown away our paper. All I had to do was e-mail it to him or I could have printed a copy from the computer and mailed it to him. "I also like to print online articles and save them. The photos pho-tos come out very sharp and the paper doesn't yellow with age. It's hard to express how much your online newspaper means to our family. "Thank you for making all of this possible."
