About Moon River Pediatrics
Moon River Pediatrics offers a model of healthcare that feels completely different from a traditional practice. Moon River Pediatrics offers: limited practice size, longer visits, minimal-to-no wait times, direct access, quality care, convenience, continuity of care, lactation support.
Aspire Savannah’s founder reflects here in “How does the classroom feel?” on the fact what you measure tells a lot about what is meaningful to you. What is meaningful to you dictates a lot about your classroom atmosphere.
At Aspire Savannah private school in Savannah’s Isle of Hope neighborhood, their studios are different from a traditional classroom. They are less bureaucratic and more personalized. There are fewer learners, more freedom of choice, and more customization of content. This alone makes our atmosphere an alternative to traditional school.
(Pictured above: Aspire Savannah’s youngest learners working on the Montessori Reading Drawers. The drawers have progressively more difficult activities for them to develop reading and writing skills. )
(Pictured below: SURF (Silent Uninterrupted Reading for Fun). That is when Aspire Savannah students take a break and read a book of choice. It’s an ideal time for older learners to practice good time management and select a book that will count toward their “Deep Book” requirement. )
