Greystone Montesorri School

History

My name is Brenda and I'm the founder of Greystone House. I was ten years into a challenging and deeply rewarding career in information processing when we decided to have children. It never occurred to me not to work. I loved my work and we were ready to have a family. I learned how difficult it is to be nursing a baby, compete in the office with men whose wives stayed at home, and have a husband who traveled 80% of the time. Then came wanting our child to have a good academic preschool and frustration with cold cereal five mornings a week. After a cross-country move, things settled in for a while and we decided to have a second child. After another cross-country move, I decided to do something about the abysmal state of daycare. I decided to develop a daycare program that has everything - the best academics, the best nutrition, the best environment with the best lighting and air conditioning. That's how Greystone House

Specialties

The child's competence is the first goal of Greystone House. Every child is born with a pattern for greatness. Our role as a preschool is to enable that power by creating an environment that does not hinder the child. When we follow the child and support his drive to be the best he can be, our whole society will become better. We follow the he basic principle in the Montessori philosophy is that every child carries within himself the potential of the adult he is to become. In order to develop his physical, intellectual, and spiritual powers to the fullest, he must have freedom - a freedom to be achieved through order and self-discipline.
