Preschool Montessori Curriculum

A Combined Montessori and Preschool curriculum focuses on the below key domains:

• Freedom of Movement: Absorbing a broad understanding of the world through hands-on materials, the children move about freely, choosing their “work” with responsibility and freedom.
• Sensorial Activities: This area of learning is scientifically designed to develop, refine, classify and grade the stimulation that children receive through their senses.
• Mathematics: Learning begins with the child’s use of concrete materials such as numerical rods, sandpaper numerals, counting objects, fraction puzzles and many hands-on math games for number relationship, sorting, matching, the four mathematical “operations,” and place value.
• Language: These activities are organized in a sequential manner to follow the natural language development of the child.
• Science: Through our hands-on materials the children learn to match and sort objects and pictures of living/non-living and plant/animal.
• Geography: The children are introduced to the earth’s globe, the world “they live on,” and learn about land and water forms through floating miniature boats on a miniature lake, gulf, etc.
• History: This subject is introduced through the concept of time measurement with timing devices for 1 minute, 2 minutes, to 1 hour.
• Art: Our children gain the skills to express themselves with crayons, watercolors, tempera paint, clay modeling, collage gluing and many other kinds of materials.
• Music: Music is a natural part of the daily classroom routine in the form of rhythm, instruments, dancing, singing, and finger plays.
• Physical Education: Since young children are meant to “move” and to practice bodily control with their very active minds, they soon learn to control their large and small muscles.
