Preschool

The Montessori Preschool classroom is a carefully prepared environment designed specifically to support the three to six year old child’s natural curiosity and interest in his world. It allows the child to learn in a place of beauty, order and rich opportunity. The Preschool classroom is well organized to allow children the freedom to select from a wide variety of activities that entice the young child to follow his innate drive to learn. The Montessori Preschool Classroom provides a rich curriculum that has both depth and breadth in all subject areas.  Children are encouraged to follow their natural desire for repetition and are given lessons on new activities when they are ready.

Daily group times (called “line”) present opportunities to share verbally; explore literature; experience science and cultural lessons; participate in music, movement and rhythm activities. Outdoor time is another part of each day; children develop important social skills and are provided many opportunities to interact with the natural world in this atmosphere of unstructured play.

This program meets five days a week for three hours each day. Classes are held in the mornings or in the afternoons. A teacher to child ratio of 1 to 10 is maintained in each class.
