Preschool Primary

Ages 3-5

We offer a challenging and broad curriculum to the primary age children as we continue the values and principles established in the toddler environment.

Children in the primary program experience a clear routine each day, but within that routine they have the freedom to choose their own activities and pace themselves rather than having to conform to a strict schedule imposed by adults. During class time, the children are free to choose work to do and receive lessons in small groups. The Montessori materials are set out attractively on shelves at the children’s height so the children may select what they are most drawn to during any given work session. The Montessori teacher guides each child through the natural progression of materials giving lessons in the order that ensures appropriate development.
While in school, your child will have the opportunity to develop skills and knowledge in the areas of practical Life which include Grace and Courtesy, Sensorial experiences, Math, Language, Geography, Art, and Science.
An important part of the Primary child’s day centers on the set up of lunch. The children set the tables with flameless candles, tablecloths, placemats and fresh flower vases. The ambience of the classroom mealtime is a very important aspect of grace and courtesy. Once lunch is completed ,the children clean up their area, sponge the tables, sweep up the crumbs and get ready for their rest time. It is our goal to create a dynamic and stimulating yet warm, stable, and comfortable environment for your child to thrive in.
