Theory
The philosophical and developmental foundations of Montessori pedagogy -- Dr. Montessori's life, the planes of development, sensitive periods, the absorbent mind, and the prepared environment.
Practical Life
The foundation of the Montessori classroom -- carrying, pouring, folding, sweeping, and the care of self and environment that builds concentration, coordination, independence, and order.
Sensorial
Cylinder blocks, pink tower, brown stair, color tablets, and the geometry cabinet -- refining each sense through carefully graded, self-correcting materials.
Language
From spoken language to sandpaper letters to the moveable alphabet to reading -- a carefully sequenced progression that honors the child's natural development of communication and literacy.
Mathematics
Number rods to golden beads to the stamp game to the bead frame -- concrete to abstract, building number sense, place value, and operations through hands-on materials.
Behavior
Understanding and supporting children's behavior through Montessori and evidence-based approaches
