The Montessori Preschool Program is a structured academics and wellbeing program that prepares children for their transition to school.

The Montessori Preschool Program offers children a dynamic learning environment where they are empowered to choose their work, follow their interests, and progress at their own pace. Within this space, children develop their independence, refine their concentration, and explode into learning as they develop their intelligence and higher-level brain processes.
​
Between the ages of three and six, preschoolers move through sensitive periods for language, order, grace and courtesy, the senses, writing, small objects, music, reading, spatial relationships, and mathematics.
During this stage of development, the Preschool Curriculum introduces children to a range of advanced Montessori materials that expand on their knowledge of Practical Life, Sensorial, Mathematics, Language and Culture.
​
The design of the preschool classroom, and the educational materials within it, reflect these interests and provide rich opportunities for learning that nurture children’s complete development while preparing them for school and life.
Daily Routine for Preschoolers
The preschool routine outlines the typical daily flow for children aged three to six years in the Montessori preschool community. The preschool daily routine provides a consistent pattern of activities for learning time, meals, rest, and outdoor play. The predictability of the routine helps children to feel secure and positively influences their emotional, cognitive, and social development.
