Ages 4 - 6 years including Kindergarten

Children enrolled in the Montessori/Discovery program spend a portion of each day alternating between two classroom learning environments.   

The Montessori classroom utilizes all five senses in the learning process, not just through listening, watching, or reading. Children select activities from hundreds of possibilities and work at their own pace. The Montessori teacher models, guides and supports each student as needed. She is able to tailor the program to their unique developmental readiness. 

The Discovery Room compliments the Montessori process, using a center-based classroom that facilitates creative thinking.  Children experience the joy of discovery by using their imagination to explore and understand the world through a number of group projects.  

The centers enhance the areas studied in the Montessori Room and offer additional development in literacy, music appreciation, research, dramatic play, and technology.

 

Allows for self-correction activities.

Incorporates mixed age groups instead of traditional age grouping which represents our world.

Fosters the love of learning through experiences in the areas of:  Language, sensorial, practical life, math, geography, research projects, cooking, gardening, creative movement and cultural enrichment.
