Pre-Primary Classroom (2-3 Years)
“The child gives us a beautiful lesson – that in order to form and maintain our intelligence, we must use our hands.” – Maria Montessori
Our Pre-Primary Program
We specifically designed our Pre-Primary program to enhance your child’s learning at this important stage of development. We offer a variety of curriculum areas, potty training, and small class size.
The areas of our classroom include:
Practical Life- Children learn practical skills that will last a lifetime. These activities foster independence, concentration, self-care skills, grace, and courtesy, and care for their environment.
Sensorial Activities- Sensorial lessons help develop hand-eye coordination, visual discrimination, sense of smell, and touch and prepare children for further work in math and language.
Math- Early math activities help children with critical thinking skills, sorting, counting, and number recognition.
Language- Children develop their language throughout the day through stories, songs, finger plays, circle time activities, and pre-reading skills such as classification, rhyming, and the beginning series of Montessori’s sandpaper letters.
Geography– Early geography work includes learning that our earth is made of land and water through Montessori’s specially designed geography materials.
Science & Nature- Children will learn about our natural world through hands-on material and an outdoor classroom environment.
Art- Children develop their creativity through the process of our art activities, focusing on their natural ability instead of the end product.
