"The first essential for the child's development is concentration. It
lays the whole basis for his character and social behavior."
Dr. Maria Montessori
At the Early Childhood level our educational program is based on the premise
that young children flourish with gentle guidance and the freedom to work at
their own pace. The carefully prepared environment of the 3-6 year old is designed
to take advantage of the child’s sensitive years— those times when
there is a readiness to learn specific skills.
Our rich classroom environments, full of hundreds of learning materials, facilitate
the independent learning of skills moving from the concrete to abstract learning
process. They are designed to put children at ease by giving them freedom within
limits -- a safe place to grow and learn.
The Primary Curriculum consists of many learning areas including
- Mathematics
- Language Arts
- Geography
- History
- Cultural Awareness including Foreign Language
- Music and Creative Movement
- Nature Studies including Botany & Zoology
