Preschool
In our Montessori preschool classroom, exploration and discovery are how a child becomes educated. They master their bodies, develop social skills, and learn to solve problems. A world that is rich in texture, color, developmentally appropriate materials, and the beauty of nature is within their reach.
Respect for the child and an understanding that each child is an individual are the principles upon which our teachers are trained. Our teachers help guide the children in our prepared classroom and model qualities the children will develop: curiosity, respect, compassion, humor, and honesty. North Oaks Montessori is committed to maintaining highly qualified staff whose values align with the Montessori method of teaching and a commitment to providing a caring, compassionate environment for every child in our care. Both the lessons and materials available in our preschool classroom cover the full scope of traditional Montessori materials including 5 basic areas of the classroom.
>> Exercises for daily living skills ( practical life)
>> Math
>> Language
>> Materials that enliven your child’s exploration of touch, texture, sound, color, and shape (sensorial) and
>> Cultural subjects including Art, Music, Science, Geography and Botany.
There is also a lengthy free playtime to explore the natural setting of our playground. This unstructured playtime is very important to allow the children to use imaginary play, which is an essential component of learning at this age.
Summer Childcare Program
Our summer childcare program was added this year to accommodate parents who are in need of childcare services during the summer months. We will continue implementing a learning environment based on Montessori methods, however, our focus will be on nature and we will spend a longer period of our day outdoors!
We will continue to offer piano lessons for parents who enroll their children in lessons. We will have Soccer Shots visit weekly, and the planning is underway for lots of exciting nature walks and some field trips. Info will be posted as soon as our planning team has the schedule confirmed as to when and where our summer field trips will be.
We are so excited to see you all this summer and begin a new and exciting program that offers the same high-quality learning environment that has been offered for over 10 years here at North Oaks Montessori!
