Philosophy

The goal of Montessori education is to encourage independence, a love of learning, and a positive sense of self in a prepared environment. Each child is encouraged to function independently at his or her own developmental rate. In this environment, the child is guided through reaching his or her own potential academically, socially, and emotionally, with the freedom to be themselves.

Everyday Living (Practical Life)

Practical Life activities teach everyday skills for coordination and independence. By practicing such essential actions as spooning, pouring, twisting, squeezing, and sewing, the child can care for the environment, take care of themselves, and practice grace and courtesy.

Sensorial

The Sensorial curriculum guides the child to be an acute observer who appreciates the beauty surrounding them. Step-by-step, the child experiences each of the human senses in isolation, including concepts of size, color, form, touch, taste, weight, temperature, and more.

Language

Building on such language skills as listening, understanding, and basic speech patterns, the child advances to hear and analyze the sounds as well as the meaning of language. A love of literature, good communication skills, and strong self-esteem are developed by listening, storytelling, reading, and performing dramatic plays.

Math

Children are introduced to math concepts and practical applications by using concrete materials in the environment. Abstract concepts are introduced through sensorial, manipulative experiences, which require the child to order, distinguish, make judgments, and problem-solve.

Science

The science area of the classroom is always changing to attract children and enable them to explore nature within the classroom. Through hands-on learning, they explore the four seasons, plant and animal life classifications, and the parts of insects, animals, trees, and flowers.

Geography

Children can travel around the world without leaving the classroom in the geography area. Educational globes open ways to learn about the land, air, water, deserts, mountains, forests, and other regions. Then, children investigate a variety of languages, cultures, and traditions in our global community both in class and at school events.
