Primary Program
We offer half-day (9:00AM - 12:00PM) programs for the 3 and young 4 year olds, school day (9:00 am-3:30 pm) for older 4 and 5 year olds, as well as an all-day program (7:30 am-6:00 pm) for those who need a longer day.
The scientifically designed, self-corrective Montessori materials stimulate and nurture the child's natural curiosity and will develop in him a positive eager attitude towards learning. Each child chooses the material he is ready for at the moment, whether it is in the practical life area, in the sensory materials or in the academic realm. The practical life materials teach the child to care for himself and his surroundings. In the sensorial area, the materials are designed to develop the five senses. Since human beings begin to learn with their senses, the child whose faculties have been keenly developed will learn more easily. When the child is ready, he works in the academic areas of reading, writing, mathematics, geography, science, music and art through the use of concrete materials.
The Directress (teacher) observes each child's particular interests and directs him toward the appropriate areas to develop the necessary skills. The classroom is a prepared environment of structured learning at the child's own pace. Respect for the individual child and his needs are of utmost importance.
