Preschool Program

     In the early years children’s spontaneous learning is of paramount importance. Our Pre-Primary classrooms provide the tools for students to acquire positive social interactions, independence, and self- confidence which enable them to make smooth transitions to other social situations they will encounter.

     Fine/Gross Motor Skills/Life Skills are an important element in our Montessori classrooms. These life skill activities though seemingly simple strengthen each child’s focus, attention, reinforces eye-hand coordination, and develop Fine Motor skills through the work with puzzles, beading, spooning, tweezing, scooping, pouring, etc. Many of these activities isolate one particular skill, allowing children to master each skill one step at a time. 

    Students enhance their Gross Motor skills through cutting, gluing, coloring, painting, outdoor physical activities, music, and creative movement.

            Discovery and Sensory Development takes place through the use of the five senses with matching, touching, and discriminating objects.

    Children’s Language Development is stimulated and advanced through the introduction of letter sounds (as opposed to letter names) and classification of objects and pictures. Children are also encouraged to sing, memorize songs, poems, etc., as a part of their Pre-Literacy Development. Books are read to classes daily for vocabulary enrichment and comprehension.

     With age-appropriate readiness, Numeral Skills are introduced through numeral tracing on sandpaper, repetition, and recognition of numbers 1-10, together with its corresponding quantities.
