Children's House Program

From ages 3-6, children have a unique ability to effortlessly absorb information from their environment. The classroom is meticulously prepared to nourish this state of mind with beautiful, engaging materials.

This age is characterized by transient periods of intense interest in specific areas, like order, language, or details. The curriculum is designed to capitalize on these windows of opportunity for deep learning.

Children are free to choose their own work, which fosters independence, concentration, and a love of learning. The teacher serves as a guide, introducing new materials and lessons as the child is ready.

Three, four, and five-year-olds learn together in the same classroom. This creates a family-like community where older children act as mentors and leaders, and younger children are inspired by their peers' advanced work.

Through focused, uninterrupted work, children develop a deep sense of calm, confidence, and self-discipline. This process, which Dr. Montessori called 'normalization,' is the hallmark of a successful Children's House environment.

The skills of concentration, independence, and academic foundations built in the Children's House prepare the child perfectly for the more abstract, collaborative work of the elementary years.
