For children this age, we believe a smaller program is better. The children become relaxed and secure in a consistent, stable environment at school. The 3 year age span creates an open learning situation where children can grow at their own rate benefiting from older children's example. Dr. Maria Montessori established a philosophy of education by observing children. Physical growth, social adaptability, emotional stability as well as cognitive abilities are developing.
Children learn by using their senses.
Process is what is important to them, the doing, not the end product. Our classroom accommodates and encourages this developmental process. We offer special materials as well as activities to challenge the mathematical mind and develop language and reading skills. We promote diversity, present the global community in which we live through our geography and science activities. Children work at their own pace and follow their own program.
