The term "Erdkinder" is something that those fully engrossed in a Montessori philosophy are aware of. For those that are not, however, this term is not as familiar. The word Erdkinder means "children of the Earth."
This allows for students that are part of a school that has an Erdkinder program to have the ability to learn valuable, hands on skills, so that they may further develop their practical life skills. Here at Countryside Montessori School, in Charlotte, NC, we have the start of an Erdkinder program.
Each day this program grows more and more, and with that so does the students education. On this site you will see what goes on in our gardens here at the Middle School level, as well as what conversations are had across all our campuses.
You will also be up to date on produce and garden items that go on sale as the seasons change. We thank you for stopping by here, and we look forward to growing with you...
