"We must
support as much as possible the child's desires for activity; not wait on him,
but educate him to be independent."
-Maria Montessori
Preschool Program
The Preschool program is designed for children 33 months to 4 years. We work with the
children and help them grow and become active explorers.
Our Preschoolers come to us with a variety of
previous childcare experiences, from in home daycare, childcare
centers, stay at home parents or within our own toddler program.
Regardless of their previous experiences our team of preschool
teachers help with the total development of your child,
emotionally, physically, intellectually and socially. We
understand that each preschooler is unique and are at different
stages of development, so our objective is to not to compare
their abilities with one another, but observe their interests
and build their individualized lesson plans around them. So at
the end of their preschool years they have mastered what they
like to do and achieved what they need to know to proceed to
kindergarten.
Our preschoolers work everyday to build the
following:
- Independence - we achieve this by simply
letting them care for themselves within the guidance of the
teacher.
- Patience - we learn patience through many
fun activities throughout the day.
- Social Skills - building relationships with
other children and teachers
- Concentration -
is built in
working with all Montessori activities, especially with
Exercise of Practical Life, the foundation of Montessori.
A typical preschool day consists of work and
play. Play can be indoor/outdoor/or going to the park and is
done early morning, before lunch and after afternoon snack.
Work time is used for learning and exploring
the different activities within the prepared environment which
includes Exercise of Practical Life, Sensorial, Math, Language,
Writing, Science, Art, Story time, Music & Movement, Geography
and Spanish.
