Montessori Preschool
About
This program provides children with a comprehensive introduction to practical life skills, sensory development, language, math, science, cultural studies, art, music, and movement. Through hands-on activities, children cultivate key skills such as concentration, coordination, independence, and a sense of order, all within a nurturing, child-centered environment. Embracing the Montessori philosophy, the program incorporates a mixed-age setting, with 3- and 4-year olds learning alongside one another. Offered five days a week, this program ensures consistent growth and exploration, fostering a well-rounded foundation for young learners. Children must be completely independent in the bathroom.
This program can be used in conjunction with Full Day Preschool Enrichment, if space is available. A separate registration is required for that program.
