What is Montessori?

Montessori classes for preschoolers and toddlers are based on self-directed activity, hands-on learning, and collaborative play. Children make creative choices in their learning, while the classroom and the highly trained teacher offer age-appropriate activities to guide the process. Children work in groups and individually to discover and explore the knowledge of the world and to develop their maximum potential.

Please note: We are a Montessori-inspired preschool program, with no accredited affiliation with AMI, AMS, MATCE, or PAMS

Practical Life

Montessori practical life exercises are designed to build the foundations of life skills through activities aimed at taking care of themselves and practicing manners and social graces.

Language

Montessori Language exercises help children express thoughts and understand and interpret the thoughts of others. Children learn the names, labels, and meanings of things in their environment for them to have relevancy.

Sensorial

Montessori classes help develop all seven of children's naturally occurring senses: tactile, visual, auditory, gustatory (taste), olfactory (smell), vestibular (body awareness in space), and proprioceptive.

Culture

Students learn about people, terrain, and animals through a rich exploration of the world. Children can begin to see the uniqueness of other cultures while understanding how much we all have in common.

Math

Montessori classes help children discover numbers by using the hands, bodies, and minds through touching, moving, and quantifying physical objects.

Physical Education

Our classes will help your child develop hand-eye coordination through sports and games. They'll also learn balance, stability, and body awareness.
