Our Programs
Primary
​​
The primary curriculum is designed with the understanding that children learn best through real-life activities that support independence, concrete experiences that engage the senses, and open-ended exploration. This leads to the refinement of their movements, sensory perceptions, language and intellect development. Children thrive through opportunities to follow their own interests and freely choose their own scaffolded activities. Through guided exploration they develop independence,concentration and curiosity.
​
Montessori materials for the primary age are designed to support self-directed discovery and learning. They are organized around Practical Life activities that develop both independence and concentration; Sensorial activities that refine and develop the child’s senses; the development of Spoken Language, Writing and Reading skills; and Mathematical activities that develop fundamental mathematical concepts; and Cultural activities that include geography, history, biology, science, music, and the arts.
All children need to be potty trained or well on their way with toilet learning before enrolling.

KINDERGARTEN ENRICHMENT
The Kindergarten student is in a transformative year of the 3 year cycle of a Montessori classroom. Kindergarten-ready children are taught leadership through modeling kindness and compassion to younger children in their classroom community. Kindergarten lessons prepare children for their next environment so they continue their learning journey with confidence. They begin project-based learning and participate in daily small group lessons focused on core educational subjects. Children must be 5 by August 31 to be considered for our Kindergarten program.
The child who has felt a strong love for his surroundings and for all living creatures, who has discovered joy and enthusiasm in work, gives us reason to hope that humanity can develop in a new direction.
- Dr. Maria Montessori
