Today a parent returned from Brazil and brought us the most lovely native doll from there to add to our hundred something doll collection. We are running out of space in our curio set as our doll population surges. From the doll guards of the Buckingham palace to the Kimono adorned dolls of Japan, to the doll brides of India — we have the most colorful display of global beauty.
We have a wonderful and supportive parent body and faculty who endorse all the programs we run at the school. Our families appreciate how much our teachers and the Montessori curriculum encourage children to learn about geographic and cultural diversity.
Each doll is unique and precious like each child. It is a beautiful and culturally diverse world, like the cultural blend of students in our schools. The sooner our children learn to celebrate our differences, the better global citizens they will be down the road.
It truly is a small world, and we are more similar than different.
