Each class in essentially a stable community, with only the oldest third moving on to the next level each year. At each level with Miss J's Montessori Preschool, the curriculum and the methods are logical and consistent extensions of what has come before. The Four Areas of Curriculum Practical Life Activities a child encounters in daily living, i.e., pouring, sponge squeezing, and buttoning. These exercises build self esteem. Each sensorial material isolates one quality, such as size, volume, width, length, touch, temperature, weight, color, shape or sound.
Repetition is encouraged to allow the child to achieve mastery.
Language Children are immersed in language throughout the day at Miss J's Montessori Preschool. They participate in conversations, songs, poems, stories and discussions. Mathematics Basic mathematical foundations of order, sequence, patterns, relationships, quantity and dimension are developed in the Practical Life and Sensorial areas. Now the child is ready to go on to add numerical value to the concepts already absorbed. All parents are welcome to visit Miss J's Montessori Preschool at any time.
