![]() ![]() If you are out on Market Street by the Café, don’t be surprised if you see children laying out the Montessori Thousand Bead Chain down along the street. So, if you visit Paros in the future and you find a woman sitting in the heart of Paroikia at Mikro Café making Montessori Bead Chains….say Kalimera to Marina Hickman. I have found Vicki a creative and loving person dedicated to sharing Montessori on Paros! Every member of the Paros group continues to do everything possible to “grow” Montessori on their island. She was so genuinely excited about the online Certificate Course I offered and how affordable it was….that she posted the details in her parents’ group and immediately emailed me with a total of 14 people to take the online course. They had come to a point where they wanted all the staff to be trained and to have a standard set of Montessori Manuals. They had three AMI directresses help assist them to get started. They had been managing a small pre-school Montessori class and an afternoon lower elementary program for the past year. Vicki sent me an email and shared the “Paros Montessori Project” that she and a friend (foreign language teacher and NAMC trained) were committed to. Deb is from Colorado Springs and completed this online training 2 years ago before I launched KHT Montessori. She had discovered my Certificate Course through Deb Chitwood’s Blog LivingMontessoriNow. “I was so excited to have Vicki Preston from Paros Greece email me in 2012. This is one of the reasons I decided to jump in and help Karen create the website and “upgrade” the course. Karen told me the story of the Paros school a while back and I was inspired their story and how it connected to Karen’s course. Prior to launching the new KHT Montessori site, Karen had Vicki and many others from Paros, as students in her Montessori Certificate course. Much of this information was featured in a issue of Paros Life magazine and used with permission from Vicki. In this blog post we will share some wonderful images and information from Vicki Preston (one of the founders of Linguakids Montessori). We are so excited to share the wonderful story of how the Linguakids Montessori school got started in Paros.
