Primary Curriculum (ages 3-6)

The primary classroom is composed of four areas:

  • Practical Life Exercises - Practical Life promotes care of the person, care of the environment, the development of social relations, and movement.
  • Sensorial - The sensorial materials enable children to clarify, classify and comprehend their world.
  • Language - The Montessori classroom emphasizes spoken language as the foundation for all linguistic expression. Throughout the entire Montessori environment, children hear and use precise vocabulary for all activities.
  • Mathematics - The mathematical materials allow these sensorial explorers to begin their journey from the concrete to the abstract through manipulation, experimentation, and invention.
