Preschool Program
Nurturing independence, curiosity, and a love of learning
Our Preschool Program is designed for children ages 3–5 years, providing a warm, engaging space where they can explore, discover, and grow at their own pace. In this stage, children develop greater independence and confidence while building the academic and life skills that will prepare them for Kindergarten and beyond.
What We Learn in Preschool
Through a mix of independent work, small group lessons, and practical life activities, children develop skills across all Montessori learning areas.
Mathematics – Using hands-on materials to understand numbers, patterns, and problem-solving.
Language – Building vocabulary, phonics, and early writing skills.
Sensorial – Refining the senses through activities that isolate and highlight specific qualities like texture, size, and color.
Practical Life – Caring for themselves and their environment through real-world activities like pouring, sweeping, and food preparation.
Culture & Science – Exploring the world through geography, nature studies, and hands-on science experiments.
