Montessori Approach
The Montessori classroom is a joyous place to be. It is geared to the child’s
natural development and the child has the unique opportunity to fulfill his/her
potential. There is no limit to what your child can learn. The preschool offers
the child over five hundred unique educational materials. Individual materials
permit a varied pace and can accommodate many levels of ability. The exercises
perfect the tools of learning and make abstract ideas concrete. Through the use
of the materials the child will develop concentration, coordination, confidence,
self-discipline, self-mastery and the love of learning.

The possibilities for enhancing a child’s knowledge are limitless. Our
wide range of materials focus on language development, math, science, art, geography,
music and more.
A specific daily schedule of the activities presented by the preschool teachers
is posted on the bulletin board at the school. Parents are encouraged to check
this daily or weekly for a summary of activities.
