This is a very important part of the Montessori environment. This is the first contact your child has with our classroom. Here is where we have the activities your child already knows from home. Here we talk mainly about safe walking and space orientation, manipulation of daily objects, polite behavior, self care and basic maintenance and preparation of snacks. This area indirectly prepares children for writing, reading and mathematics.

The children in this young age explore things around them with all of their senses. The results are amazing when we encourage them with special material which is colorful, neat, has logical sequence and isolates one sense and one quality. The children encounter new sensations like perceiving and differentiation of sizes, colours, shapes, sounds, structures, weight, temperature and whatever else their imagination invents.

All of our daily activities are done in the English language. Our instruction materials develop their English skills in a creative and playful way. We start with speaking, then writing and reading. Their language skills are enhanced through the other subjects they encounter throughout their time at our school.

The children become acquainted with mathematics by using their hands. Through the use of their hands they learn units, tens, hundreds and thousands. Next the children explore how to count even higher and how to add, subtract, multiply and divide. We also work with verbal tasks and fractions.

This is a beautiful area the children are in touch with every day. In our classroom they use maps, globes, plants, animals and experiments. They differentiate between what is animate and inanimate. We learn about time, history, seasons, months, days and hours. We also explore outside in the garden where the children learn how to care for plants and animals.
