Montessori Curriculum:

Practical Life:
These activities help children develop daily life skills such as refining their motor skills and caring for themselves and their surroundings.

Sensorial:
With the unique Montessori Sensorial materials, children work on such skills as visual and auditory discrimination which are necessary for future academic work.

Math:
The remarkable Montessori math materials not only teach basic counting skills but bring such abstract concepts as the decimal system, squaring, cubing, and geometry into the realm of the preschool mind. 

Language:
Our language curriculum uses a systematic approach to writing and reading that feeds the child's innate excitement for and desire to communicate.  There is lots of vocabulary and pre-literacy development in the early years thet helps the children quickly progress to writing and reading.
    
Science and Geography (Cultural Studies):
The science and geography activities that a child finds in the Montessori classroom are designed to "put the world in the palm of his hand".  Children work with maps, learn about various cultures around the world, celebrate similarities and differences, and ponder the beauty of the natural world.

Gross motor development opportunities are provided daily both as part of a structured program and individual free choice throughout the day. Informal and formal music education occurs through daily singing, playing a variety of music CDs, introduction to instruments, exploration of sound etc.
