Serving children 2.5 to 6 years
Children under the age of six have what Maria Montessori called, "an absorbent mind". The environment is quite literally absorbed by the child, shaping the foundation for who they will become. With this in mind, our primary classrooms are meticulously designed to meet the needs of children ages three to six. Child-sized furniture, beautiful and interesting objects, and scientifically designed materials are available for the children to use and explore.
Our highly trained guides observe each child for developmental signs of readiness and present lessons on the materials that correspond to each child's needs. The children are free to explore with those materials within the limits of the classroom expectations and structure.
Building independence, concentration, fine motor skills, language, and sensory experiences are the foundation of a primary environment. The use of real, concrete materials and experiences also allows the children to explore higher level concepts such as division or grammar, at a young age.
