We cannot create observers by saying “observe,” but by
giving them the power and the means for this observation
and these means are procured through education
of the senses.
—Dr. Maria Montessori

CASA PROGRAM

...

This is an exciting and important time in your child's development. Our program (Casa) for children 3 to 6 years of age is based on the educational principles developed by Maria Montessori. Our environment and philosophy nurture and educate the whole child. The child-centered classroom has been prepared specifically for children to provide them with opportunities and experiences which contribute to their intellectual growth, and their social, physical and emotional development.

  In the Montessori classroom, there is an emphasis on learning through all five senses. Children learn at their own, individual pace and according to their own choice of activities. They are introduced to reading, math, history, geography and science. Outside the classroom, children participate in a variety of fun and educational field trips. Learning is an exciting process of discovery, leading to concentration, motivation, self-discipline, and a love of learning.

  With a low teacher-to-child ratio, our accredited Montessori teachers are able to lead your child to sound work habits, independence, responsibility and well-developed social skills. With a sense of order and the ability to think in logical patterns, your child is well prepared for the transition to elementary school and to meet the academic challenges of up coming years.
