14 Nardin Today Fall 2022 Each school at Nardin focuses on the needs of its students based on their ages and stages. Here are some examples of how each school focuses on social-emotional learning. How does the Montessori support social-emotional wellness? Program structure and components The structure of a Montessori program naturally lends itself to the promotion of a child’s social-emotional growth. With the child acting as the lead in their learning, they are being taught from a very young age to be their own agent of change. In turn, this requires the child to develop self-regulation skills and improves their emotional intelligence. Additionally, most Montessori classrooms have an area designated for peace talks to promote conflict resolution skills. PE Program In Montessori, the teachers and students discuss the importance of living a healthy, balanced life, and how taking care of one’s mental health is just as important as physical health. Part of the program includes meditating for five minutes after every class, bringing awareness to our breath and body parts.
