Beyond Montessori Classes
At Great Minds ECC, our specialized staff take pride in monitoring students’ progress and ensuring their success. Our highly trained specialists work closely with teachers and parents. This allows them to provide additional support to students requiring extra assistance in the Montessori class. Our specialists not only provide training to teachers, but they also create an environment that challenges and meets the needs of each child. With the implementation of an Individual Educational Program (IEP), our specialists ensure that each child receives the necessary support in the classroom and at home. They work diligently and collaboratively with teachers to observe students during group activities and provide one-to-one assistance.
