Developmental Focus

1. Emotional Development:

Our Infant/Toddler programs are designed to help your child establish basic trust and security, build routines, and develop relationships with those around them. Children learn to recognize different emotions, express their needs and wants, and develop a sense of independence. This emotional foundation is crucial for their overall well-being and helps them navigate their social world with confidence.

2. Social Development:

Your child develops their social skills by building awareness of others and responding to social cues. They begin to engage in parallel play and understand the concept of personal space. Through daily interactions, children learn to communicate, share, and cooperate, laying the groundwork for strong social relationships and community involvement.

3. Physical Development:

In our child care program, your child develops natural reflexes and grasps, builds their sense of body control, and strengthens hand-eye coordination. Activities are designed to enhance fine and gross motor skills, from simple tasks like grasping and manipulating objects to more complex movements like balancing and coordination exercises. These physical skills are vital for their overall growth and development.

4. Cognitive Development:

Cognitive development is an integral part of your child’s early education. They explore objects within their Montessori environment using their senses, practice imitation, and discover object permanence. Children explore concepts of sameness and difference, cause and effect, and anticipate familiar events. They learn to set goals, identify familiar objects, build active listening skills, and improve communication through gestures and language. One-on-one interactions with teachers help bolster their communication skills and build awareness of the function of spoken language.

Our Curriculum

1. Practical Life:

Practical Life activities encompass care of the person, care of the environment, and lessons in grace and courtesy. Exercises include activities such as pouring, sorting, sewing buttons, peeling bananas, and wood polishing using real-life objects in a child-sized environment. These activities encourage good work habits, increase independence, concentration, and develop coordination. Practical Life activities lay the foundation for all other subject areas in the classroom.

2. Sensorial:

Sensorial exercises are designed for children ages 2.5 to 6 and cover every quality that the senses can perceive, such as visual, tactile, gustatory (taste), olfactory (smell), and acoustic (sound). These activities help children develop control over fine motor skills and sensory discrimination. For example, grasping small knobs on cylinder blocks enhances fine motor control, while sound cylinders help children perceive subtle differences in phonetic sounds. The use of diverse materials designed with variable dimensions, shapes, textures, smells, and colors helps develop all faculties of intelligence.

3. Language:

Language in a Montessori classroom is explored phonetically. Sounds of the alphabet are introduced through sandpaper letters, followed by matching objects to sounds. Once children solidify a few sounds, they are introduced to blending three to four sounds together with the Moveable Alphabet. Metal insets are used to refine pencil control and improve writing skills. These activities foster the development of reading and writing skills, as well as overall language proficiency.

4. Mathematics:

In the Math area, hands-on materials provide a clear and simple understanding of mathematical concepts. Children work from simple to complex tasks, with each exercise building upon another. This approach gradually guides the child’s mathematical mind from concrete to more abstract areas of numeration, fostering a deep understanding of mathematical principles.

5. Cultural:

The Cultural area includes geography, nature, history, and science. Children learn about their place in the world through materials like Puzzle Maps and globes, which teach them about continents, countries, and oceans. Classroom materials and books follow the seasons, studying the weather and daily changes in the calendar to establish a cycle of time. Children are encouraged to contribute to the nature area and participate in special lessons, such as a birthday celebration representing the child’s journey around the sun.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the school’s application process?

Please call the school to set up a tour. During the tour, we will go over details of the program, waitlist information, and show you one of our beautiful classroom spaces.

What is the school’s daily routine?

Infant/Toddler Full Day: Our Infant/Toddler Full Day program runs five days a week from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm. Children arrive between 8:30 and 9:00 am, change into their indoor shoes, and begin their Montessori lessons. Mid-morning, a healthy snack is provided by the school. Afterward, children engage in music and indoor or outdoor playtime. Infant/Toddler children nap in the afternoons and, upon waking, are offered a second nutritious snack before dismissal at 4:00 pm.

Do you have a gradual entry period for new children?

Prior to the first day of school, our teachers will schedule a meet and greet day for your child. Children and parents are invited to visit their classroom, helping children orient to the new environment. After the classroom visit, new students attend school for abbreviated blocks of time, gradually working up to their full-day schedule. Most children adapt quickly to the school day, with their schedule extended at a rate that works for them.

How many children are in each classroom?

Infant/Toddler classrooms have a maximum of 12 students with 3 teachers. Primary classrooms have a maximum of 16-25 students with a 1:8 ratio.

Can my child nap at school?

Yes. All full-day Infant/Toddlers nap in the afternoon from 12:15 pm up to 2:30 pm. Primary is flexible; children who still nap sleep in the afternoons, while those who remain awake engage in educational activities. Nap time for Primary students is from 12:45 pm up to 2:15 pm.

Does my child need to be potty trained to attend?

Infant/Toddler children do not need to be potty trained. Our teachers promote toileting independence and self-care throughout the toddler year. In our Primary program, we encourage children to be potty trained by the beginning of the school year.

Does the school provide lunch?

Parents have the option of enrolling in our lunch program directly through our catering service, Libby’s Kitchen. Libby’s Kitchen delivers warm and healthy lunches to the school daily. Alternatively, parents may send in a nut-free lunch from home.
