Preschool & Kindergarten Curriculum

Our Montessori Preschool & Kindergarten programs offer a well-rounded curriculum that encourages curiosity and helps children make meaningful connections as they learn. Building on the skills they developed as toddlers, the classroom is carefully set up to guide children through different areas of learning that support their growth in every way.

  • Practical Life

    These essential real-world activities empower children to care for themselves and their environment, vital for three-year-olds in developing concentration, coordination, independence, and order.

  • Sensorial

    Through a carefully crafted set of self-correcting materials, children refine their senses, learning to discriminate attributes like color, sound, and shape, building a concrete foundation for abstract concepts and academic work.

  • Math

    Abstract mathematical concepts become accessible through tangible, hands-on materials, allowing children to physically manipulate objects to grasp addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, fostering a deep, intuitive understanding.

  • Language

    Capitalizing on the sensitive period for language, children progress from vocabulary enrichment and writing preparation to phonetic sounds, reading words, and exploring grammar, cultivating strong communication and literacy skills.

  • Art

    Nurturing creativity, this area encourages open-ended exploration with diverse mediums and introduces children to art history, fostering both individual expression and appreciation.

  • Science

    Focused units of study, such as rainforests or space, nurture innate curiosity through hands-on inquiry, building knowledge of the natural world and respect for the environment.

  • Geography

    Utilizing puzzle maps and authentic artifacts, children cultivate curiosity about the world and diverse cultures, progressing from global understanding to exploring continents and countries, enriched by parent-shared cultural heritage.

  • Enrichment

    In addition to our regular classroom curriculum which includes music, movement and yoga, we schedule programs throughout the school year focusing on music, storytelling, children’s theater, puppets and nature.

Toddler Curriculum

Our classroom activities are thoughtfully chosen to help children grow in all areas. We support key skills like independence, coordination, focus, and a sense of order—while also helping children develop socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively. Some of the hands-on learning experiences children enjoy include:

  • Self-care

    Helping children build confidence and independence in everyday skills like washing, dressing, using the toilet, and eating.

  • Environment

    Inviting children to take part in everyday tasks like cleaning up, preparing food, watering plants, and caring for classroom pets—building responsibility and pride in their environment

  • Gross-motor Skills

    Supporting physical development through activities like walking, climbing, running, jumping, balancing, and going up and down steps—both inside the classroom and outside on the playground.

  • Fine-motor Skills

    Developing fine motor skills through activities like reaching, grasping, picking up and moving objects, and using tools, utensils, and art materials.

  • Social Skills

    Helping children build social skills by supporting positive interactions with classmates and teachers, including taking part in small group games led by adults.
