In 1998, she traveled to London, England, to obtain her Montessori diploma. During this time, she discovered her passion for teaching and fell in love with the Montessori pedagogy, deciding she would one day open her own Montessori preschool.<br><br>After returning to Barbados, Lisa began working at a small nursery school on Upton Road, which she eventually took over upon her employer\u2019s retirement. She relocated the school to her home in Upton, officially establishing Wee Pals Montessori in September 2004.<br><br>While in the UK, Lisa also studied various types of developmental delays, and in 2000, she earned her diploma through distance learning from the Hornsby Dyslexic Center in England. She tutored children with specific learning difficulties, including dyslexia, and worked at the Caribbean Dyslexic Center. Her dedication to this area remains strong, and she continues to teach remedial lessons from her home. In 2020, she began researching The Science of Reading program and completed the Orton Gillingham diploma course.<br><br>Over the years, Lisa is proud to have grown Wee Pals through word of mouth alone, always maintaining a full roster. Dedicated to her own development, she continually reads, researches, and takes courses to deepen her expertise in education. Noticing an increase in children with developmental delays, especially those on the autism spectrum, Lisa recognized that the Montessori method could be tailored to suit each child&#8217;s specific needs. In 2021, she rebranded her school as an Early Intervention Center, working closely with speech and language therapists, behavioral therapists, and pediatricians. Lisa has also completed training in the More Than Words Program and received in-house training in Applied Behavior Analysis.<br><br>Lisa\u2019s vision to expand Wee Pals Montessori Preschool to include Montessori primary education began in 2020, and she is thrilled to see this dream become a reality. This year, she retrained in the Montessori 3-6 Diploma through the North American Montessori Center and looks forward to leading the primary class at Montessori School Barbados.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-e023d5f6 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px\">\n<details class=\"wp-block-details has-ast-global-color-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5d3e2b23cbc689a7e95f0b12c1147110 is-layout-flow wp-container-core-details-is-layout-8a368f38 wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" style=\"font-size:24px;letter-spacing:1.5px;text-transform:uppercase\"><summary>Jessica Allan &#8211; Primary 1: Montessori Teaching Assistant<\/summary>\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-info-box uagb-block-037d8f08 uagb-infobox__content-wrap  uagb-infobox-icon-left uagb-infobox-left uagb-infobox-stacked-tablet uagb-infobox-image-valign-top\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-image-content\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/montessorischoolbarbados.com\/staging\/4842\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/jessicaAllan.jpg?resize=200%2C200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Jessica Allan headshot\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/div><div class=\"uagb-ifb-content\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-title-wrap\"><\/div><p class=\"uagb-ifb-desc\">Jessica Allan has always had a passion for teaching children. Upon completing 6th form at Queens college, she spent 6 months in Costa Rica volunteering and interning as a teacher to the local children and community. There she received ongoing training that encompassed leadership course work, one-on-one mentorship, group study, lesson planning, team management and teaching practices. The children on the small island off of Costa Rica only had one small school where they had to take turns attending, so she loved being part of a project that was able to give the children a place where they could go to and feel safe, listened to, express themselves and learn while they were not at their traditional school.<br><br>She then returned to Barbados and studied at the University of The West Indies and received her Bachelor of Science in Ecology and Environmental Science, her other passion. She has since built her own free range chicken coop on the dairy farm that she lives on, and is looking forward to helping build a coop for the primary school children at the Montessori School Barbados.<br><br>Jessica has fallen in love with the Montessori method of teaching, as she believes that children need exposure to a creative learning environment that will help them succeed physically, socially, emotionally and cognitively. Outside of the classroom she spends her time painting, drawing and doing the occasional mural.<br><br>She has begun her training in the Montessori 3-6 Diploma through the North American Montessori Center.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-e023d5f6 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px\">\n<details class=\"wp-block-details has-ast-global-color-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0ca8d05d9fb5816d4c99ff1858442223 is-layout-flow wp-container-core-details-is-layout-8a368f38 wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" style=\"font-size:24px;letter-spacing:1.5px;text-transform:uppercase\"><summary>Alyssa Fearn &#8211; Primary 2: Montessori Head Teacher<\/summary>\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-info-box uagb-block-259c2193 uagb-infobox__content-wrap  uagb-infobox-icon-left uagb-infobox-left uagb-infobox-stacked-tablet uagb-infobox-image-valign-top\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-image-content\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/montessorischoolbarbados.com\/staging\/4842\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/alyssa-fearn.jpg?resize=200%2C200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/div><div class=\"uagb-ifb-content\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-title-wrap\"><\/div><p class=\"uagb-ifb-desc\">Alyssa Fearn is a trained Educational Support Worker and Behaviour Therapist, who has a deep love for the Montessori method. Upon completing secondary school, Alyssa was certain that she wanted to dive into the world of special education. One that she quickly realized would change her far more than she would change it. After spending a year volunteering locally she went abroad and completed a diploma program in Educational Support and then decided to continue her studies and really hone in on Autism &amp; Behavioural Science.<br><br>Her time in placements over the duration of the three years really solidified her love for working in a committed team, centered not only around education, but in supporting families and teaching practical and meaningful skills to her clients. Much of her experience was working with children, teens and young adults on various home\/life skills, community outings and social skills.<br><br>Moving back to Barbados in 2020, Alyssa slowed down her pace and worked privately with a few families on targeted goals and also worked for a short period clinically. In 2022 Alyssa met Lisa through a child she was supporting at the time and her love for Montessori was kindled. She could see how beneficial this style of teaching was not only for neuro-typical kids, but those who also presented with various learning needs. She then began digging into online resources and books to learn more.<br><br>As life slowed down work-wise she began her family and has been blessed with two girls whom she is eager to see learn and grow through the Montessori method. Montessori School Barbados has become more than a career but rather a passion for Alyssa as she dives into current research findings, recognizes gaps in the present education system, through conversations with various professionals and sees the need for greater involvement in our children&#8217;s future through outreach programs, changes to the method of education, and tailored education for all.<br><br>There is much to be done to change the trajectory of where we see students at today. Alyssa is eager to work with a team of passionate and well-rounded individuals who see beyond the task of work as an educator and realize the legacy that can be left when serving the community and the ripple effect of caring for and educating a generation with the core values Maria Montessori founded. Alyssa has begun her training in the 6-9 Lower Elementary Montessori diploma program. She is eager to complete her training and oficially join the MSB team in 2026.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-e023d5f6 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px\">\n<details class=\"wp-block-details has-ast-global-color-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-763d374c32a914ffb834f27577cd4dba is-layout-flow wp-container-core-details-is-layout-8a368f38 wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" style=\"font-size:24px;letter-spacing:1.5px;text-transform:uppercase\"><summary>Sienna Gollop &#8211; Primary 2: Montessori Teaching Assistant<\/summary>\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-info-box uagb-block-b1c0deda uagb-infobox__content-wrap  uagb-infobox-icon-left uagb-infobox-left uagb-infobox-stacked-tablet uagb-infobox-image-valign-top\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-image-content\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/montessorischoolbarbados.com\/staging\/4842\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/sienna-gollop.jpg?resize=200%2C200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/div><div class=\"uagb-ifb-content\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-title-wrap\"><\/div><p class=\"uagb-ifb-desc\">Sienna Gollop, attended Harrison College and is currently studying Psychology and Education at the University of the West Indies.

Born and raised in London, Susan studied there before moving to Barbados over eleven years ago. She has recently returned to London to work with children and adults with disabilities and to pursue further studies before returning to Barbados.<br>Susan\u2019s passion for early childhood education began during her school years when a work experience placement in a nursery solidified her career choice. Over her seventeen-year career, she has worked with children and families in need within mainstream settings and served as an Acting Senior Centre Worker. However, her true passion lies in hands-on work in the classroom, directly supporting children and partnering with parents and caregivers\u2014a collaboration she considers essential for every child&#8217;s development.<br><br>Susan believes in creating comfortable, resource-rich spaces where children can learn and grow freely, a philosophy that aligns perfectly with the environment at Montessori School Barbados. She values the importance of creating an inviting, interactive space for children and their parents, understanding how essential it is for parents to feel confident in entrusting their children\u2019s care and education.<br><br>As a parent herself, Susan recognizes the trust parents place in Early Years Practitioners. Her experience at Wee Pals exemplifies this genuine care for children, and it fuels her enthusiasm to join Montessori School Barbados, where she can help foster a comfortable, nurturing learning environment.<br>When her own children were young, now aged 17 and 19, Susan created a safe, stimulating environment for them and their friends, which continued as she established private homeschooling environments in Barbados that emphasized her passion for early childhood development.<br><br>Susan\u2019s career journey has also led her to work in a special needs unit, volunteer in an orphanage in India providing pastoral care and English lessons, and serve as an Emergency Medical Technician and Emergency Medical Dispatcher for the London Ambulance Service. Her medical training has proven invaluable in her Early Years work, offering additional skills in creating a safe, supportive environment for young learners.<br>In Barbados, she embraced roles as a homeschool tutor and emergency operator and even co-founded an Early Years Provision Service with her husband. Though the service didn\u2019t proceed due to the pandemic, Susan continued her work in private homeschooling.<br><br>Currently in London, Susan is furthering her work with children and adults with disabilities and expanding her Montessori knowledge, preparing to bring her enhanced skills back to Montessori School Barbados. She is excited to join the team and share in each child\u2019s journey, fostering learning and exploration with the natural and beautiful resources surrounding them.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"faqs\" class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-37844c08 alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-fe9cc265 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-38147a3f\"><p class=\"uagb-desc-text\">Curious About Our Primary School?<\/p><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-12243e0f wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<details class=\"nfd-text-md nfd-p-card-sm nfd-rounded nfd-text-contrast nfd-shadow-xs wp-block-details has-ast-global-color-5-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-width:1px;font-style:normal;font-weight:500\"><summary>Do children move up in the school based on academic ability\/achievement or is it automatic that you move into a new class according to your age?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1d20ff000cabf73430a04287052ab4bf\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-be9bc6c94d8c63f9240d7c037d09f597\" style=\"font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">Students are in each primary class for a period of 3 years. They are placed in the particular prepared environment based on their stage of development and their needs within that specific stage. The teacher can observe, guide and foster these sensitive periods in the development of children\u2019s lives when they show strong interests in different aspects of their environment. The three-year cycle ensures completion of the work necessary to the development of the whole child at that particular stage.<br><br>Dr Montessori observed that human beings grow and develop within different planes of development \u2013 0-3, 3-6, 6-9, 9-12 and beyond. Rather than the traditional method of \u201cmoving up\u201d or \u201cstaying down\u201d based on academic performance over the span of one year, children are in an environment where they will be introduced to each topic within the curriculum areas over a three-year period. The curriculum is inclusive of all topics within a subject during each traditional primary class. In this way, children are able to absorb information at their own pace. Because the information is readily at the children\u2019s fingertips, once they are ready to receive a presentation to a new topic or concept, they can work with that material whenever they wish until mastery of the topic is achieved.<br><\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"nfd-text-md nfd-p-card-sm nfd-rounded nfd-text-contrast nfd-shadow-xs wp-block-details has-ast-global-color-5-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-width:1px;font-style:normal;font-weight:500\"><summary>How does Montessori line up with the Ministry\u2019s curriculum, in particular.

In comparison to the concepts taught within the Montessori curriculum, the children will not only be receiving all of the relevant topics taught in our National Curriculum, but as the curricula in Montessori are interwoven, the children will get a deeper understanding of how and why the areas of the curriculum are linked.<br><br>As mentioned in the previous question, the topics that are introduced within each age group are geared towards the sensitive periods of the child\u2019s development within that stage. Much observation is done and the teacher determines when each child is ready to be introduced to a new concept, if reinforcement within that concept needs to be done and if an extension to the concept can be introduced. Children are encouraged to work on the concepts when, where and for how long they wish. This \u201cfreedom\u201d within limits is one of the key principles of the Montessori philosophy.<br><br>Our mission is not only to teach children Math and English for 1 exam, but to foster in children a love and passion for learning; is not just to teach children, but to teach children how to learn independently.<br><br>This is an excerpt taken from Reimagining Education In Barbados \u2013 A Bright Future for Every Child \u2013 the Barbados National Education Reform:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-dbb2ad6f wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/montessorischoolbarbados.com\/staging\/4842\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-01-at-6.19.24%E2%80%AFAM.png?ssl=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/montessorischoolbarbados.com\/staging\/4842\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-01-at-6.19.24\u202fAM-195x300.png ,https:\/\/montessorischoolbarbados.com\/staging\/4842\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-01-at-6.19.24\u202fAM.png 780w, https:\/\/montessorischoolbarbados.com\/staging\/4842\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-01-at-6.19.24\u202fAM.png 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/montessorischoolbarbados.com\/staging\/4842\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-01-at-6.19.24%E2%80%AFAM.png?resize=195%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"uag-image-765\" width=\"195\" height=\"300\" title=\"Screenshot 2024-10-01 at 6.19.24\u202fAM\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"nfd-text-base nfd-text-faded has-ast-global-color-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-46f14213bd291be8189d0957d77885ea\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);font-style:normal;font-weight:400\"><br>The key to reforming the education system in Barbados is taking a whole-of-education approach that includes moving away from a selective secondary school system focused on the achievement of a high level of academic qualifications by a small minority of students, to one that provides all young people with an excellent general education.

Once a month, we will invite a couple parents to sit quietly for a short while and watch a Montessori classroom at work. This is usually done once the children have settled into their environment. These are generally prospective parents whose children are registered to come to the school. We appreciate that this is an unconventional method of education, I think that it is imperative that parents can really see how the methodology works.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"nfd-text-md nfd-p-card-sm nfd-rounded nfd-text-contrast nfd-shadow-xs wp-block-details has-ast-global-color-2-color has-ast-global-color-5-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color uag-hide-desktop uag-hide-tab uag-hide-mob wp-elements-5965cc1244d47ef61f440a3c98aada87 is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-width:1px;font-style:normal;font-weight:500\"><summary>What is the school\u2019s policy about homework?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"nfd-text-base nfd-text-faded has-ast-global-color-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0a48b1ac06a81da4049bb71cf2e8c10a\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);font-style:normal;font-weight:400\">Alyssa to provide text for this answer.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"nfd-text-md nfd-p-card-sm nfd-rounded nfd-text-contrast nfd-shadow-xs wp-block-details has-ast-global-color-2-color has-ast-global-color-5-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-151f804a7eff488167c4c9b4f52bfd3f is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-width:1px;font-style:normal;font-weight:500\"><summary>How will the school provide assessment for each child?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"nfd-text-base nfd-text-faded has-ast-global-color-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-fccb4efe1a82c70e4e00ed33223f5be6\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);font-style:normal;font-weight:400\">Assessing student progress is a vital aspect of any educational system, and Montessori education is no exception. However, Montessori assessment approaches differ from traditional methods, emphasizing holistic evaluation and a comprehensive understanding of each child\u2019s development.<br><br>Teachers provide detailed reports on a child\u2019s progress, strengths, challenges, and milestones for a more nuanced understanding of their growth.<br><br>By avoiding grades, the focus shifts to nurturing intrinsic motivation and personal development rather than comparing students to predefined standards.<br>Montessori promotes mastery-based learning, where students engage with materials and activities until they achieve a deep understanding. Mastery is valued over meeting specific grade-related benchmarks or timelines, allowing students to fully grasp concepts at their own pace.<br><br>Assessment sheets are kept for each child, listing all of the topics\/areas in each curriculum. These assessment\/record sheets are filled out by the teacher on a daily basis.<br><br>Montessori education also encourages students to self-assess and reflect, promoting responsibility and ownership of their learning.<br><br>By avoiding grades, Montessori schools create an environment focused on individual progress, qualitative feedback, and self-assessment.<br><br>One key method is through observational assessment, where teachers keenly observe students\u2019 interactions with learning materials, engagement with peers, and problem-solving abilities. These observations provide valuable insights into each child\u2019s strengths, interests, areas for growth, and readiness for new concepts.<br><br>Work journals and portfolios also play a crucial role, documenting students\u2019 learning journeys and showcasing their progress, achievements, and areas of focus. By reviewing these records, both teachers and students can track the development of skills, completion of projects, and mastery of concepts over time.<br><br>Self-assessment and reflection are integral components of Montessori education, empowering students to evaluate their own work, set goals, and monitor their progress. Through self-assessment, students develop a sense of ownership over their learning and become actively involved in tracking their individual growth.<br><br>Communication between parents and teachers is also central in tracking individual progress. Regular communication and shared observations ensure that parents are well-informed about their child\u2019s progress. Meetings, conferences, and collaborative discussions allow parents and teachers to exchange insights, discuss a child\u2019s growth, and work together to support their educational journey.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"nfd-text-md nfd-p-card-sm nfd-rounded nfd-text-contrast nfd-shadow-xs wp-block-details has-ast-global-color-2-color has-ast-global-color-5-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-e84908379bc5cdeb465099d6983c0e10 is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-width:1px;font-style:normal;font-weight:500\"><summary>How Do Montessori Schools Measure Their Effectiveness?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"nfd-text-base nfd-text-faded has-ast-global-color-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-493ae947992218a7f50af3b9c1b25ee3\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);font-style:normal;font-weight:400\"><br>Montessori schools employ various methods to measure their effectiveness and ensure the fulfillment of their educational goals.

Once the school has been established for a period of 2 years, when the primary 2 class will be starting, and a parent is interested in transferring their child, there are some things that can be done to help with this transition.
