3-year olds through Kindergarten
Children's House classrooms accommodate children in mixed-age classrooms that provide a safe, stimulating, nurturing educational and social foundation for future success and pleasure in the experience of coming to school and being part of a group. From supporting their earliest days, where separation from parents and caregivers and absorbing classroom routines are their primary tasks, to sending them up to Elementary and the challenges of first grade, our teachers commit themselves to giving their students a comprehensive early childhood education. This includes:
- A carefully prepared, orderly and aesthetically pleasing classroom environment, rich in Montessori and other high-quality early childhood materials and books.
- An approach to learning that encourages children to develop focus and concentration and a positive attitude about work, acquiring skills and information.
- Hands-on activities and experiences in a sequential curriculum of math, language, sensorial, practical life, and science.
- The integration of art, music, drama, dance and library into their daily routines.
- Daily physical activity on our large playground.
- The benefits of a mixed-age group that offers the opportunity for social, emotional and academic development with older, younger and same-age peers.
- The support and guidance of experienced Montessori teachers who provide lessons and choices based on their careful observation of each student.
- The opportunity to learn to make good choices, develop independent thinking and establish a sense of self-discipline and respect for self, the others and the environment.
Children's House Program Options:
