DESCRIPTION:Christopher Academy will begin its 50th year celebration with
  a workshop on the Montessori method and philosophy on January 29\, 2013
  at 7:30 at our Westfield campus. We encourage all parents to attend thi
 s workshop on how Montessori education differs from traditional educatio
 n\; what are its benefits\, and how the child learns &ldquo\;naturally&r
 dquo\; in the Montessori classroom.\n&nbsp\;Over a century ago\, Dr. Mon
 tessori devoted her life to the education of children\, while revolution
 izing the field of early education\, insisting that the classroom enviro
 nment reflect the child&rsquo\;s natural needs to learn. Her research wa
 s developed by observation and demonstration\, and it is being proven co
 rrect today through brain research and study of the children as they mat
 ure.\n&nbsp\;Ms. Amelia McTamaney\, former Head of School and Board Chai
 r of Christopher Academy\, will host this workshop. Amelia has over 40 y
 ears of experience in education\,&nbsp\; of which 37 years were spent at
  Christopher Academy\, her true love. In addition to a Bachelor&rsquo\;s
  degree from Georgian Court University\, Amelia holds Montessori certifi
 cations from St. Nicholas College London and the American Montessori Soc
 iety for the ages of Birth to age 8.\n&nbsp\;Christopher Academy\, the o
 ldest Montessori school in New Jersey\, celebrates in 2012 its 50th year
  of serving our communities&rsquo\; children from the ages of 2 to 8. A 
 50th Anniversary celebration is planned for February 10 at the school&rs
 quo\;s Westfield Campus\, and the community is cordially invited.&nbsp\;
