McDonough Montessori prepares students with the transformative experience and to be well-rounded future leaders who make a positive impact on the world.
The Montessori Primary program offers a unique, mixed-age classroom environment, for children approximately 3 to 5 years old. Here, children engage in individual learning experiences, as well as one-on-one interactions, which are integral to the Montessori Method.
As children get older, they tend to see things that adults find ordinary as very interesting and special. Practical life exercises like sorting, pouring, or washing dishes absorb them completely.
We recognize this as the beginning of control and coordination of mind and body. That’s why Montessori learning revolves around tangible, hands-on experiences.
Practical Learning
Children use concrete materials to learn math, movable alphabet letters to explore language, and cubes, cylinders and other objects to categorize, find spatial relationships, and more.
Children discover independence, confidence, and innovation
Key components of this classroom include: Science and Nature, Music and Movement, Sensorial, Cooking and Nutrition, Cultural Awareness, History, Geography, Language Arts, & Mathematics.
A Children's House
The teacher works to perfect the environment – in it, your child works to perfect himself. Our teachers put tremendous care and attention to detail into the classroom with low shelves, beautiful artwork, books and cultural items of interest to pique your child’s interest and stimulate his senses.
