Primary Program
Our program for children from ages 3 through age 6 follows the educational philosophy and method of Dr. Maria Montessori. The objectives of the program are:
- To prepare a learning environment, which helps the children achieve their fullest potential and mental ability;
- To provide a model environment from which parents may draw new ways of enhancing the child’s growth at home;
- To offer the child the experience of working with materials in a setting of free choice, order, respect, and care of self.
The environment is carefully prepared to meet the child’s learning needs. The child uses materials designed to assist growth in practical life, the development of the senses, languages, mathematics, music, art, science, and geography.
Elementary Program
Our elementary program is designed for children from 6 through 12 years of age who have attended Montessori programs during their preschool years or whose parents choose to continue their education with academics based on the Montessori method.
