PROJECT DESCRIPTION CONTINUED
The Application for Conditional Use Permit is an amendment to the
existing conditions on CUP 196, approved March 11 , 1981 , allowing the
Special Use Permit to be assignable to others, other than Carlsbad
School, Inc.
The Applicant is Children's Montessori World which is the partnership
of Joan and Pam Burke. They currently are licensed by the State and
operate a Montessori School in the City of Oceanside and have done so
for two and a half years under a use permit. This site will be their
second facility.
Accompanying the application, is literature and scheduling of
activities for Children's Montessori World.
In addition to Condition 7, we'd also request the modification of
Condition 14 on the expiration date of the Special Use Permit and
request that the time correspond tothe lease forthe premises which is
for three years with an option for two. The current Special Use
Permit expires on March 11, 1988. We request modification of the
condition to expiration in five years from date of approval of the
modified Use Permit. This would allow an additional one year time
from the seven years originally approved.
No additional modifications are requested to the conditions
previously approved under the original use permit. The Applicants
agree to abide by all the conditions and are looking forward to
establishing an operation within the City of Carlsbad.
CHILDRENS ' MONTESSORI WORLD
PHILOSOPHY
Our basic aim is to free the individual child's potential for self-development
through the provision of a "specially prepared environment'' which possesses order and helps the child develop according to his capacities in a non-competitive
atmosphere.
We believe there should be respect for the child.
We believe children understand, learn and remember more when they actively participate in the learning rather than by observing and listening only.
The child is free to choose the work he wants to do within limits.
The Childrens' Montessori World school offers to the child love and security.
We believe in using positive reinforcement with the child to encourage, not
discourage him learning.
We believe learning should be an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
We believe each child is a unique individual and should be treated as such.
GOALS
1. To open the world up to the child. explore his world. To give the child the opportunity to
2. For the child to foster a love of learning.
3. To encourage the child to ask questions. To seek answers to his questions.
4. For the child to gain self-confidence and believe in himself.
5. For the child to gain independence. To learn to be an individual and
discover that he is a unique individual.
6. For the chi.ld to develop self-discipline.

PRESCHOOL (CLASS I) DAILY SCHEDULE

8:20 - 8:35 a.m. ARRIVAL TIME
Children will ONLY be greeted during this time. Say a friendly good-bye, only one time, and leave. If your attitude is calm, positive and matter-of-fact this gives the child great security. Always try to be on time. . . a tardy start means something missed and it is difficult for the young child to miss part of the morning's routine. One who
consistently brings a child late shows lack
of respect for the child's feelings and our
school's program.

MONTESS~I' PRESCHOOL INFCXMATION .!4ANUAL
1. Why should I send my child to Preschool?
MQst educators and psychologists today agree that the single most
important period in the development of a persons intelligence occurs
between birth and age five. A child's mind is extremely absorbent and
his curiosity is at a peak during these early years. When properly
nourished and stimulated, the child's mind forms patterns for learning
that serve him well throughout his life. The Montessori system of
preschool education has proven to be one of the most effective and
fastest growing methods to guide a child through these critical years.
2. What is the difference between Day Care, Nursery Schools and Preschools?
Day Care Centers are generally far the purpose of caring for children on
an all day basis. Nursery Schools are generally experiences in sociali-
zation and play on an all day basis.
educational experiences combined with socialization and play on an all
Preschools are oriented taward
day basis
3. How is a Montessori Preschool different from other Preschools?
In most preschools the children are taught educational concepts in a group by a teacher. In a Montessari Preschool the children learn
concepts spontaneously as they work independently with the many materials in the environment.
4. What is the Montessori Method of Education?
The Montessori Method of education is basically a unique approach to
learning. Rather than "teaching" the child concepts, an environment
is designed to stimulate the child's interest and facilitate his
understanding and learning capacities spontaneously - with little
or no adult intervention.
5. What is the purpose of the Montessari Method?
The main purpose of the Montessori method is to develop environment
where the child can unfold spontaneously and manifest the greater
person within. According to Maria Montessori, "the child is the
father of the man". As the child begins to develop this inner self,
his lave of life and learning expands continuously.
6. Who started the Montessori Method?
Dr. Maria Montessori, over 7f years ago, was Italy's first woman medical
doctor. Using her scientific background, she began observing children
in the children's houses of Rome. Based on her unbiased observations
she developed unique materials, a child-centered environment, and was one of the first persons to revolutionize educational thought by stressing
respect for the child, freedom of expression, self-education, and training
through we of movement and the senses.
c*

7. What is in a Montessori classroom?
The Montessori classroom is a child-size world. Whatever is in the world outside can be incorporated meaningfully in the Montessori classroom.
TO a child, the world is unmanageable - it is too big, too complex and
too confusing. By careful selection of materials by the Dkectress, an
envitonment is set up that allows the child a place to explore life
on a level he can understand. The materials or kxercises are designed to stimulate independent exploration. This prepared environment entices
the child to proceed at his own pace from simple activities to more
complex ones. Through this process, the child's natural curiosity is satisfied and he begins to experience the joy of discovering the world about him. Materials and curriculum center around Practical Life,
Sensorial, Language, Math, Reading, Geography, Science, Art, Music,
Drama, Dance, and Physical Education.
9. Haw do children interact an the environment?
As the children develop their sense of pride in their "woxk", a feeling
of confidence, well being and Joy begins to manifest itself in the child.
A **new child" is born. A classroam of Montessori children is a joy to
watch. There seems to be a spirit of respect, lave and cooperation among
the children that is not found too often.
9. What is the role of the Montessori teacher?
The MOnteSSari teacher is called a Directress because she facilitates
the classroom activity. She carefully plans the environment in the
interests of the children and she helps the children prcyress from one
activity to the next. She is trained to deal with each child individually,
allowing him to choose from many activities within his ranqe of ability.
She stands back while a child is working and allows him the satisfaction
of his own discovery.
10. With all the freedom, isn't there confusion?
The concept of freedom in the classroan is a freedom within limits.
A child is allowed to work freely so long as he does not disturb others.
Actually, the children having the freedom to follaw their interests are
generally happy and busily involved in their work.
11. What is the best age to start a child?
rgaria Montessori outlined various periods of "sensitivity". During
these times, a child is more capable of and interested in learning
specific concepts.
canrdination and independence begin td emerge. This time is ideal to
begin a child's training in Montessori as he is at the perfect period
to build a strong foundation far future learninq,
At age 2.6 - 3.6 a special sense of order, concentration,

Children who have been in a Montessori environment are generally very flexible and adjust quite easily to the public school situation.
are generally better students and spend their time in more productive
ways because of their self direction and positive attitude toward learning.
They

What about socialization and group work?
Socialization is very much a part of the Montessori method. In the classroom you'll notice children interacting continuously, choosing
to work on projects together, and older children helping younger
ones. Each day there is same group activity and play outside.
Who is the Montessori Method designed for?
The Montessori Method is an "approach to learning" and as such has
no distinction of class or intelligence. It has been used successfully in all parts of the world and in all types of programs, i.e. aeadstart,
gifted children, mentally retarded, average children, etc.
Isn't Montessori expc nsive?
Tuition in MOnteSSOri preschools throught the country is sometimes higher than other preschools because of the extensive materials, encompassing
environment, curriculum and trained staff. It is, huwever, a very reasonable cost in contzast to other activities you would plan for
yourself er ybur child.
To give your child the finest possible experience in his most sensitive
years is to give him a stzong foundation throughout his life and probably
ward off investment later to correct ar remedy that which was missed.
Many educators believe that it is wiser to invest in a child's preschool
education than his college education. The child who enjoys learning and
becomes self-directed at the critical preschool age will benefit through
all his years of learning. The expe nse now is a profitable long-term investment ! -_
It becanes a matter of what you value most.
floes Montessori employ current research and thew in educational methods?
Montessori is not a static or clos$d system of education.
are certain materials and methods that have been proven effective through
the years, Montessori is as much an attitude about education and children
as it is a specific method.
While there
Do you encourage Parent Involvement in the school?
We courage parent involvement through conferences , observations ,
discussions, parent evenings, assisting in the classroom, making materials, etc. The staff feels that the more parents can under-
stand the experiences of the child in the classroom, the better able
they are to follow through at home.
home, the child benefits even more because he has a consistent environment
in which to grow.
