Children’s House
Early Education: Pre-School, Pre-K and Kindergarten
Ages: 2 years, 9 months – 6 years
Our Children’s House program offers:
Individual attention. In accredited Montessori schools, the teacher is able to work with each child individually. This includes instruction, observation of progress and assessment.
Freedom of Choice. Children are allowed to follow their interests first. If a child naturally gravitates toward mathematics, they can choose to spend one day solely on that subject to perfect his/her skills. However this doesn’t mean that’s all they will do. Our teachers are trained to guide children through the entire curriculum so that they develop a love for learning all kinds of subjects.
Hands-on learning materials. Montessori materials are rich in color, texture and are very appealing to children. They are designed to draw children to them to help develop logic and the understanding of concepts such as sentence structure and mathematics.
Students are introduced to a vast array of topics, without even being aware of it. They learn phonics, writing, reading, mathematics, geometry, nature, classification, geography, and cultural studies,
Broad curriculum. Students are introduced to a vast array of topics, without even being aware of it. They learn phonics, writing, reading, mathematics, geometry, nature, classification, geography, and cultural studies,
Kindergarten
In the third year of Children’s House – the Kindergarten year – children experience rapid academic and social growth. Their skill level dramatically increases this year within the Montessori classroom.
The learning becomes more complex and they delve deeper into the intricacies of the materials.
They develop the ability to concentrate for periods of time that allow for completion of large sequences of work.
Five and early six year olds move into the role of "elder" in the mixed-age classroom. This allows the children to experience being role models to the younger children, which helps to develop leadership skills, as well as patience and empathy.
The Montessori curriculum is much more sophisticated than what is found in most Kindergartens. For example: they begin learning multiplication and division. In geography, they learn about countries, cultures and land forms. In art, they learn about great artists such as Renoir and Picasso. In literature they read about subjects that interest them and learn to write a paper on what they’ve read.
