Southwood Learning Center offers two compatible programs which promote self-paced learning and foster creative thinking:

 

The Montessori method comprises the completion of individual tasks in topic areas which include: language, mathematics, science, sensorial exploration, practical life, geography, and art.

 

The Discovery method utilizes a center-based classroom, promoting group interaction and social development.  Children choose from a variety of independent and group activities which include: blocks, small manipulatives, puzzles, dramatic play, science, literacy, art music and technology.

 

In addition to these two curricula, we believe cultural appreciation is an important part of development, especially in today’s diverse world.  A cultural enrichment program is offered in the afternoons for our Montessori and Discovery classes.  Children have an opportunity to learn fine arts and explore the world by learning about different cultures through, music, art, foods and dress.  Our goal is encourage children to take pride in their heritage as well as respect the unique differences in people around us.
