PRE-PRIMARY PROGRAM (3- through 6-year-olds)
The Pre-Primary Program is based on the Montessori techniques and philosophy of individualized and self-directed instruction. It provides stimulating social and intellectual experiences in carefully prepared environments, where children ages three through six interact and learn from each other.
Specific areas of learning include language, pre-reading development, mathematics, geography, sensorial work and practical life activities. The nurturing atmosphere supports and encourages the child’s growth toward confidence and independence, and instills a love of learning.
