Perfect Preschool Environment for Learning

Curriculum Overview

Our curriculum consists of a carefully prepared, fun, and loving environment that encourages children to learn individually at their own pace. We have a dynamic learning environment with a wealth of concrete, manipulative learning materials that encourage children to discover and learn during these crucial early childhood years.

Montessori teachers are trained to observe each child and to put them in touch with things they are most interested in learning; the results are joy, immense satisfaction, and excitement about learning. Our educational environment helps children thrive in subjects that interest them most.

Our Educational Programs

Infants (6 weeks – 18 months) 

Our infant environments embody Maria Montessori’s vision of a “Nido” or nest; they are peaceful, loving places where babies can explore and feel secure in their early years. Teachers speak in gentle tones, the daily pace is unhurried, and décor is understated and homelike. Each child in our care is an individual to be nurtured with affection and respect. As is customary for Montessori environments, every detail is selected with the child’s whole development in mind.

Toddlers (18 months – 3 years)

Our toddler program focuses on a period of tremendous development and growth. During this stage, children develop 80% of their personality, enhance their mobility, improve their gross and fine motor skills, as well as learn they are separate individuals yet a vital part of a community. It is a critical time of development for a child. Working with the children’s natural tendencies shows them respect for their childhood and encourages them to enjoy learning. 

Our teachers take great care in providing a nurturing, safe, and comfortable atmosphere, while at the same time igniting the child’s natural curiosity in the many materials and activities offered in the classroom. Children are not required to be potty-trained to enter this program.

Primary (3 – 6 years)

Our primary program offers an authentic, high-quality Montessori education that meets the needs of each child by offering them opportunities for optimal development. Our primary classrooms offer a rich, engaging learning experience where the child can joyfully explore with freedom and confidence as they master each new skill. 

Our environments are prepared with a focus on fostering discovery and a love of learning within a framework of developmentally appropriate activities or ‘works’. This framework presents the entire scheme of the curriculum to the child in a hands-on, dynamic, and carefully sequenced format. The child spontaneously chooses his own work and repeats it over and over to gain mastery. 

Our program offers a curriculum that is individually paced to meet each child’s needs. Our classrooms offer a mixed-age range from three to six years where the younger ones learn from the older ones. This provides opportunities for leadership, cooperation, and a sense of community prior to elementary school. 

This preschool curriculum focuses on developing emotional skills and fostering great communication to help children build confidence in themselves. Parents can trust that their children will learn the social skills they need at our childcare facility.

Directresses

We believe teachers (Directresses) are the very backbone of any educational organization. Their love for children, coupled with their knowledge and experience is absolutely crucial to the child development process. The certified teaching staff at each Castle Montessori school is comprised of a group of highly experienced and dedicated professionals who work conscientiously to challenge each student on every level to achieve academic and personal excellence in a loving/nurturing environment. Students can’t say enough good things about our Directresses. Their school days are made fun and engaging by these highly trained teachers.
