Facilities
LOWER ELEMENTARY PROGRAM
In a traditional classroom, children are tasked to sit at their desk and have few options to choose where or how they learn the curriculum. In a Montessori environment, children are permitted to work on the floor with mats or at a table with or without friends. They are permitted to use hands on materials and are self motivated to learn and come to their own discovery of ideas and concepts. Traditional classrooms often have to keep to a set curriculum and pace to keep up with a predetermined set of standards. However, in a Montessori classroom, lessons are given either individually or in a small group. A child may take as long as they need to on a lesson, and set the pace when they are ready for the next step.
PRESCHOOL/KINDERGARTEN PROGRAM
Dr. Montessori best described the three to six year old child as having an "absorbent mind." She believed that children ages three to six have "intense mental activity" which ultimately translates into a need to process and learn as much new information through their environment as possible. The preschool/kindergarten classroom is the next learning extension after the toddler classroom; whereby students build upon their knowledge foundation. The three to six year old child is consciously learning through purposeful work in an attractively prepared environment where important cognitive, social and emotional skills are developing. Students move freely around the classroom and choose personal work based on whether they are ready for it. The Montessori classroom provides the correct amount of structure, freedom and guidance for students to excel at their own cognitive pace.
TODDLER PROGRAM
The Toddler program are for ages 18 months to 3 years. In the toddler classroom the children start to build a foundation for independence. The children are encouraged to do things for themselves so it helps create self confidence. They are working on the skills to get them ready for preschool. We encourage them to start the potty training process so by the time they are ready to be in the preschool they have the skills needed to use the bathroom with little assistance. In the toddle room we follow the Montessori philosophy of following the child and we focus more on the process than the product.
