OUR CURRICULUM

The Montessori classroom is divided into several areas including language art, sensorial exercises, cultural activities, practical life and mathematics. Classrooms include a classroom library. Each area is made up of one or more shelf units and display cabinets with a wide variety of materials on open display ready for use as children select them. Each classroom is directed by a teacher who has the necessary skills, experience and qualifications for the program.  

The Practical Life area is essential for a strong Montessori educational foundation. In this area a child is learning control of movement (fine motor skills), concentration span, self-confidence and a love of learning. These activities replicate real life experiences which include self-care, care of the environment, grace and courtesy, washing, cleaning up, gardening, dressing and undressing. ​ While doing these exercises, the child develops concentration, independence and control over his/her motor skills. 

The Sensorial area of the classroom helps children become more aware of details that are often overlooked. Each activity focuses on one quality such as color, weight, shape, size, texture, sound or smell. The Sensorial area of the classroom builds the child’s concentration for a broadened awakening of a child's five senses, such as their sense of smell, taste, hearing, sight and touch and increase the child’s ability to discriminate sensorial impressions.

 Montessori Language activities are designed to improve a child’s vocabulary, listening skills for common sounds, and differentiating between objects and pictures. Language activities include learning the shapes and sounds of letters, practicing fine motor skills by writing, vocabulary development, matching words and pictures, enunciation, and articulation of ideas, reading development with word lists, practicing parts of grammar (nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc.), creating sentences and reading silently.
