Our highly trained Preschool teachers provide individualized attention to each child using authentic, hands-on Montessori materials to teach reading, mathematics, science, geography and more. The gentle and respectful Montessori approach allows for children to build skills in Order, Coordination, Concentration, and Independence (OCCI). With a focus on Peace Education, our teachers gently guide the children to establish awareness, kindness and compassion within their community. Each program provides weekly activities in Art or STEM to give the children opportunities to engage their senses, practice critical thinking, promote creativity, and express emotion.
Lower Elementary: 800am-300pm
Our Lower Elementary classroom runs 5-days a week from 8am-3pm, following the school district calendar. Our Elementary program teaches academic subjects using authentic hands-on Montessori materials with individualized attention for each student. History and culture study awaken during the elementary years through the Montessori Cosmic education curriculum. Our Elementary teacher brings world study to life through costume play, interactive history lessons and Japanese language immersion. At this level the children connect with their community through local field trips, group social studies projects, and practical life applications of the character qualities we promote.
