Why Families Choose Montessori
Early Childhood Education
Montessori Preschool/Kindergarten curriculum nurtures development of both academic and life skills for ages 3-6. Preschool curriculum areas include: Practical Life, Sensorial, Cultural, Language and Mathematics.
Hands-On Lessons
Montessori’s unique materials are attractive, tactile and concrete. Children experience the lessons through many senses.
Multi-Age Classrooms
Montessori classrooms have 3-year age spans that are consistent with developmental milestones (pre/K, 1st-3rd grades, 4th-6th grades). This environment fosters a community of learners who nurture and support each other and learn to respect each child’s individual strengths.
Individualized Learning
Children choose and progress through the lessons at their own pace, allowing for each child to work at his appropriate level in each subject—striving to reach his own potential.
Self-Discipline
Since children choose their own lessons, they are responsible for their own education and this fosters self-discipline. Teachers assist this development with age-appropriate methods including lesson planning and gentle suggestions.
Environment of Cooperation
The multi-age classrooms and individualized learning decrease academic competition. Cooperation is encouraged and supported in Montessori classrooms.
Integrated Curriculum
Montessori lessons weave together subjects like math, science, history, and literature to give the child the “whole” and the ability to see how the parts of the whole are interconnected
