Preschool

The Montessori approach to education was grounded in four planes of human development. The first plane, which occurs between birth and six years of age, is characterized by dramatic physical and psychological development in the child. Montessori referred to the child’s ability to assimilate sensory and stimulus information from things such as language, sense, and cultural practices as being tied to them having an absorbent mind. Montessori believed the absorbent mind to be unique to this plane and an attribute that begins to fade around the age of six years old.

Drawing on this understanding of cognitive and emotional development, programming in these classrooms is characterized by practical activities designed to develop skills like sweeping, spooning, pouring, or washing up, along with other more traditional fields of education, including but not limited to the following:

  • Academic Programs to ensure your child’s learning
  • Arts and Crafts
  • Foreign Language
  • Geography
  • Math
  • Music
  • Physical Education
  • Science
  • Social Science
  • Verbal Skills
  • Written Communication
