Classroom Philosophy

 
 

Our classroom will include traditional Montessori equipment. Freshly prepared, healthy snacks and lunches will be served.

Our language curriculum is phonetically based, using a variety of engaging choices for learning the sounds, as well as the name of the letters.  Math is taught by introducing concepts first in a concrete way, then moving on to the abstract.  We will learn about music by listening to different composers, and explore art by learning about different artists and their styles of art.

We will encourage your child to explore their interests while preparing them for life through cooperative learning that involves waiting their turn, asking for lessons in an area that interests them, trying new foods, and exploring nature.  We will strive to help children develop at their own pace, encourage problem solving, strong social skills, and gross motor development through outdoor play.  We want to garden.  We want your child involved in all areas of learning.

The goal of early childhood education should be to activate the child’s own desire to learn.
