Toddler Session: The Science & Philosophy Behind the Montessori Curriculum

What's this WORK my child is doing? Kinda young for such seriousness? Not at all! Each Toddler is very solemn when it comes to revealing their personalities and honing their life skills. Join Ms. Barba & Ms.Thain for an explanation of the science and philosophy behind each area of the Montessori curriculum and how you can incorporate these concepts at home.


Primary Session: Exercises for the Education of the Senses

Maria Montessori said, "the child should therefore be methodically exposed to stimuli that will develop the senses rationally and thus lay the foundation for their mental powers."

What better time of the year than the holidays to revel in the sights, sounds, smells, textures, and tastes of our surroundings? The Primary Team will be sharing with you their passion for the one area of the Montessori curriculum which is peculiar to only us - the Exercises for the Education of the Senses. Come learn what it's all about!
