| Born in Italy in 1870, Dr. Maria Montessori became the first
female doctor in Italy. She founded the Montessori
method of learning on the basis of encouraging children to
fulfill their potential by learning through their own
experiences. THE MONTESSORI ENVIRONMENT
Practical Life
Area:Helps children develop self-sufficiency skills as well as day-to-day life independency. Sensorial Area: Helps develop, explore, refine and broaden sense perceptions. Language Arts Area: Develops vocabulary, self expression skills, and reading and writing skills. Mathematics Area: Children obtain concrete experience with number concepts and symbols through materials and manipulatives. Cultural Area: Children gain a basic knowledge of Science (Zoology and Botany) and Geography, as well as the diverse cultures of the world. Arts & Crafts Area: Helps children to develop their basic cognitive skills and expand their creativity. Music Area: Our music program is conducted by staff trained in the Orff methodology. This progressive program, named after its founder Carl Orff, includes instrument playing (both pitched and non-pitched), movement and dance, body percussion, basic music theory and singing. The program is taught to separate age groups so that students at the same skill level are grouped together. We encourage group participation as well as individual growth musically. Like the Montessori approach, children will develop at their own pace and have the freedom to choose the instruments and activities geared to their readiness. Students will gain exposure to a wide variety of musical experiences in a fun and an educational environment. |
