One way that a Montessori classroom is different from other preschool settings is that many of our materials are designed for one child at a time. The intention is to protect the child’s concentration and ability to work independently.

The overarching theme of the Math area is moving from concrete to abstract. We want the child to have a solid, tactile idea of what numbers even are before moving on to operations.

The best way to support your child's Montessori education is to find ways to encourage them to be independent at home.

The Sensorial materials help refine a child’s five senses, as well as develop skills such as visual discrimination, order, logic and concentration.

Each child has their own way of adapting to change and new routines, and all of their feelings are honored at school. 

When discussing the four basic areas of the Montessori classroom, we begin with Practical Life.
