Preschool Program Objectives

To help the student to be a confident, active learner.
To assist the student to develop a strong sense of self and a natural love of learning that will last thoughout his or her life.
To develop adaptability, independence and creativity in learning and living
To acquire the fundamental skills needed to communicate, through words, and symbols.
To allow the student to enjoy and gain satisfaction from sharing forms of artistic expression
Create an environment in which children respect the similarities and differences of others, feel a responsibility to others, while respecting their own individuality.
To provide opportunities for children to develop strong bodies and healthy living habits.

All of this takes place in a carefully "prepared environment" and under the observation of qualified, accredited Montessori teachers. Students are encouraged to choose independently and with freedom of choice within limits. The beautiful, sequenced, self- correcting learning materials encourage independence and build the children’s self-esteem and confidence. Students become active participants in their family and, eventually, society.
