Areas of Learning
The classroom materials are grouped in similar areas of learning and lead the children from initial concrete concepts to later abstract learning. Children learn through the "hands-on" approach pioneered by Dr. Maria Montessori.
Through Practical Life exercises children learn to care for themselves, one another and their environment.
Sensorial activities provide specific opportunities to explore, order, broaden, and refine sense perceptions.
Language exercises nourish the children's vocabulary, enhance self-expression, and develop reading, writing, and listening skills.
Math and manipulative materials allow exciting concrete experience with number concepts and operations.
Cultural subjects including Science, Geography, History, Art, and Music deepen the children's awareness of the world around them.
Gross Motor activities reinforce spatial and body awareness and strengthen control of large muscles, and eye-to-hand coordination. Indoor and outdoor activities are part of the program.
