Our Curriculum

The Montessori curriculum encompasses six areas: 

Practical Life

The practical life exercise help prepare a child for writing and reading skills by developing and encouraging the following:

  • Concentration

  • Order
  • Small Motor Skills

Examples of practical life exercises are: dressing frames, polishing shoes, washing hands, pouring water/rice, sweeping, dusting, folding, plant care, room care, food prep, scrubbing, peeling, washing, drying, cutting and
pasting.
