Tyre, Bailey, Roberts and Associates
The fourth, fifth and sixth grade children at Children’s Meeting House Montessori School in Loveland have the rare opportunity to take a step back in “time” thanks to Tyre, Bailey, Roberts and Associates, an estate buying group that has supplied the school with antique time pieces for the children to disassemble, investigate and reassemble.
Tyre, Bailey, Roberts and Associates is based in Cincinnati and travels around the country buying jewelry, watches and coins from the public. The Company has also made a substantial cash donation to Children’s Meeting House to fund programs which encourage young collectors to rediscover the hidden treasures found inside works of art like these time pieces.
Todd Tyra, president of Tyre, Bailey, Roberts and Associates states “watch making is a lost art and it is a worthwhile endeavor to encourage young people to step back and discover the unique hand-made craftsmanship that each piece of art offers”.
The children have linked this opportunity to their history curriculum. Children’s Meeting House Montessori School offers children a hands on approach to learning and offers concrete experiences to abstract concepts, making the opportunity of taking a step back in “time” a reality.
