Montessori Curriculum
Our Montessori curriculum delivers tactile, self-paced education using specialized materials that develop cognitive skills and independence. Children engage in practical life activities, sensorial exploration, and academic concepts through uninterrupted work cycles. This approach cultivates concentration, coordination, and critical thinking while respecting individual learning rhythms.
Pre-Primary Program
Designed for 18-month to 3-year-olds, our Pre-Primary program focuses on foundational skills through sensory-rich activities and socialization. Small-class settings allow personalized guidance in motor development, language acquisition, and daily living practices. The prepared environment encourages autonomy while maintaining safety and structure for our youngest learners.
Primary Education
For 3-5-year-olds, our Primary program builds literacy, numeracy, and scientific curiosity through interactive materials. Children learn at their own pace in mixed-age classrooms that promote peer mentoring and collaborative problem-solving. The curriculum integrates cultural studies, geography, and botany to develop global awareness and environmental stewardship.
Kindergarten Class
Our Kindergarten/1st Grade program (ages 5-7) extends Montessori principles to advanced academic concepts while maintaining hands-on learning. Students master reading, mathematics, and writing through multisensory tools before transitioning to abstract thinking. The program emphasizes research skills, creative expression, and character development for school readiness.
School Age Care
For children aged 5-12, our School Age program provides homework support, enrichment activities, and structured social opportunities. Extended-day care from 2:30-5:30 PM complements traditional schooling with Montessori-aligned projects. The curriculum fosters organizational skills, independent study habits, and cooperative learning in a nurturing environment.
