A Taiwanese Montessori educator team visited MST recently to observe Montessori education in Japan and to learn about our community. This is the heartwarming message they sent to us after their visit.
First and foremost, we want to convey our appreciation for the exceptional hospitality extended to our Taiwanese Montessori educator team. We have safely returned home, and the memories of our time at Montessori School of Tokyo will forever be etched in our hearts.
Each member of our team was not only satisfied but truly inspired by what we witnessed at your school. The diverse perspectives on Montessori Education, particularly in the context of environment preparation for ages 0-12, provided us with valuable insights and fresh ideas for our own educational practices.
We were particularly impressed by the meticulous environment setting that caters to the unique needs of children in various age groups. Your emphasis on not only academic but also holistic development was truly commendable. The support extended to both children and parents alike creates a nurturing atmosphere that fosters growth and learning in a holistic manner.
It was evident that Montessori School of Tokyo goes beyond the conventional academic approach and focuses on creating an environment that addresses the overall well-being and individual needs of each child. This holistic perspective resonated deeply with our team, and we are excited to incorporate some of these ideas into our own educational framework.
Furthermore, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for the love and warmth we received from the Montessori School of Tokyo community. The sense of camaraderie and genuine care for both educators and students alike is a testament to the strong bonds that define your institution. We feel privileged to have experienced the warmth of your school community and consider ourselves fortunate to have established a connection with such dedicated educators.
As we return to our work in Taiwan, we carry with us not only a wealth of knowledge but also the cherished memories of our time spent at Montessori School of Tokyo. The friendships formed during our visit are something we hold dear, and we are eager to continue fostering these connections in the future.
Thank you once again for everything. Montessori School of Tokyo holds a special place in our hearts, and we look forward to a lasting friendship. Please accept our warmest regards, big hugs, and the assurance that the spirit of friendship will endure across borders.
With sincere appreciation,
