Our Montessori Primary environment is designed for children 3-6 years of age. Our Children’s Houses are an exquisite replica of Maria Montessori’s Casa dei Bambini, a house for children. These classrooms are grouped according to Montessori mixed-age settings. Mixed-age classrooms foster a sense of community, promote peer learning, allow younger students to observe older students working on higher-level lessons, and develop leadership qualities in older students as they mentor the younger ones. At this level children are guided by their own natural interests to choose lessons of daily living or practical life, sensorial, language arts, mathematics, geography, botany, zoology, and music. In addition, all students ages 3 to 6 years enjoy art, music, library, yoga, and daily Spanish instruction.
