EARLY CHILDHOOD
MONTESSORI PROGRAM
Serving children up to 5 years old, we follow the Montessori philosophy of learning through all five senses. Our children move at their own pace, as opposed to the traditional group pace. Under the guidance of our highly trained Montessori-certified teachers, children choose concrete lessons according to their own abilities and interest. As a member of the American Montessori Society, the Early Childhood program nurtures the development of a strong sense of self-discipline, motivation, empathy and a love of learning.

Children’s House: A Montessori Environment
“The environment must be rich in motives which lend interest to activity and invite the child to conduct his own experiences.” – Dr. Maria Montessori
Curriculum & Goals
The Children’s House Montessori classroom educates 3-5 year-old students who are fully potty-traiend. The curriculum builds on lessons introduced in the Toddler House in the following areas: Practical Life, Sensorial, Art, Fine and Gross Motor Development, Music, Math, Language, Spanish and Cultural areas. Some of the main goals for our students in the Children’s House include: independence, self-regulation, a positive self-concept, exploration, discovery, fine and gross motor development, concentration, order, socialization, grace, courtesy, good manners and the development of a love of learning.
The older students in the class (ages 4-5) participate in the Raider Readiness Pre-K Skills Program as a means of preparing for kindergarten the following Fall. Rather than nap in the afternoons, the Raiders spend that time focusing on handwriting, math concepts, and pre-reading skills. This Raider Readiness program enhances the Montessori curriculum and helps ensure our students are well prepared for the traditional kindergarten classroom.
