Child-Centered Learning
Each child learns at their own pace in a prepared environment
Preschool - Montessori
Ages 3 months – 6 years
Preschool Foundation – Montessori Education
Our Montessori Preschool nurtures the whole child during the most critical years of brain development. Children learn through purposeful activity, movement, and exploration in a carefully prepared environment.
The Montessori method is a child-centered educational approach based on scientific observations of children from birth to adulthood. It emphasizes hands-on learning, self-directed activity, and collaborative play, allowing children to make creative choices in their learning.
Hands-On Discovery
Learning through purposeful activity and sensory exploration
Our Philosophy
The Montessori Approach
Dr. Maria Montessori believed that children are naturally eager to learn and capable of self-directed learning when placed in a supportive and thoughtfully prepared environment.
Respect for the Child
Every child is valued as a unique individual with their own learning style, interests, and developmental timeline.
Absorbent Mind
Young children have a natural ability to absorb information from their environment, making early years crucial for development.
Prepared Environment
Classrooms are carefully designed to promote independence, freedom within limits, and a sense of order.
Our Curriculum
Six Core Subject Areas
The Montessori curriculum is divided into six interconnected areas of learning, each designed to develop specific skills and knowledge.
Practical Life
Activities that develop fine motor skills, coordination, concentration, and independence through everyday tasks like pouring, sweeping, buttoning, and food preparation.
Sensorial
Materials that refine the five senses and help children classify their environment. Activities develop visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and gustatory discrimination.
Language Arts
A comprehensive approach to language development including spoken language, phonetic awareness, writing, reading, and grammar through hands-on materials and activities.
Mathematics
Concrete materials that make abstract mathematical concepts tangible. Children progress from counting to operations, fractions, and early geometry at their own pace.
Culture & Science
Exploration of geography, history, biology, botany, zoology, and physical science. Children develop an understanding of their place in the world and appreciation for diversity.
Motor Development
Activities that develop both fine and gross motor skills through movement, music, art, and outdoor play. Children build coordination, balance, and body awareness.
