Montessori is
More Than a
Rich Environment
of Special Materials
Over 300 individual and group presentations are used in the following early
learning areas. Many presentations use self-correcting rich high quality materials so the child "self-learns" with the
hands and repeats with the heart and mind until he or she moves to the next activity.
Practical Life
The purpose of these activities is to achieve sense of order, refine motor skills and become independent. The children learn to care for self and the community. They
are guided through the social skills daily.
Sensorial
The purpose of these activities is to refine the child's senses through manipulating scientifically designed materials. The child learns how to absorb abstract qualities and increases his/her ability to
order and classify the environment.
Language
The development of language starts with speech and progresses from writing to reading. The children are taught the sounds of the letters and then shown how to use various materials to blend
sounds to make and read words.
Mathematics
Numbers are introduced by figure identification and quantity. The child
learns the value of 1, 10, 100, and 1,000. The use of concrete materials for
learning addition, subtraction, multiplication and division leads the child from concrete to abstract computing.
Cultural
History, geography, botany and zoology are parts of the child's environment.
Globes, puzzle maps, flags and land and water forms allow the child to learn about the world.
Art/Music
The child learns cutting, gluing, tracing, blending of colors and punching.
They work with multiple mediums in a variety of activities at their own level of ability. The child is exposed to many types of music. They have the
opportunity to experience music by using musical bells, music maker and xylophone. They
will be led in singing many different types of songs
