Primary Program (3 to 6 year old)
In the primary program the children truly make the environment their own choosing independently from activities that they have been shown by their teachers. Children in Montessori schools use scientifically designed materials to build their understanding of mathematics, language, and the works around them while they interact in mixed-age classrooms to develop the social skills, confidence, independence, responsibility, and a love for learning. Activities are typically hands on, tactile materials to teach concepts. These material help build a concrete understanding of basic concepts upon which much is built in the later years.
The primary program is divided into four main categories;
practical life
sensorial
language
mathematics
Other activities include art, music, science and geography.
