Primary
Ages 3 Years - 6 Years
The Primary Program is the heart of the Montessori journey—a period when children’s capacity for learning, focus, and creativity grows at an extraordinary pace.
In this stage, children are eager to explore, question, and make sense of the world around them.
Our Montessori environment is designed to meet this natural drive with hands-on materials, real-life experiences, and the freedom to follow individual interests within a structured, respectful community.
Children in the Primary classroom are introduced to the full breadth of the Montessori curriculum—Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Mathematics, and Cultural Studies—through purposeful activities that spark curiosity and lead to deep, meaningful learning.
The mixed-age setting allows younger children to be inspired by older peers while giving older children opportunities to reinforce their knowledge by guiding others.
Building Academic Foundations
In the Primary classroom, learning is an active process. Language skills grow through storytelling, phonetic work, and writing activities that progress naturally to fluent reading.
Mathematics is explored through concrete materials that help children visualize numbers, quantities, and operations before moving into abstract concepts.
Cultural lessons in geography, science, art, and music broaden their understanding of the world and their place in it.
​
Every material has a purpose, and every activity builds upon the next, encouraging children to think critically, solve problems, and take pride in their accomplishments.
This approach instills both a love of learning and the confidence to tackle new challenges.
Fostering Independence and Character
Beyond academics, the Primary Program emphasizes social and emotional growth. Children take an active role in caring for themselves, their environment, and their community.
They learn respect, empathy, and cooperation through daily interactions, whether it’s setting a table for snack time, working quietly beside a friend, or helping a younger classmate with a task.
​
The classroom is a place where self-discipline grows naturally, guided by the children’s own sense of responsibility and their joy in purposeful work.
By the end of the Primary cycle, children emerge as capable, confident, and compassionate learners—ready for the challenges and opportunities of the next stage in their Montessori education.
