Infants (0-18 Mths)
The first years of a child’s life are times of intense and accelerated development. The child’s brain and intellect are racing. During this time, it is crucial that the child’s unique needs are met, that their growth is aided, that they encounter to obstacles, and they are given the time to explore their world.
18 Mths – 2 1/2 Yrs
The Toddler classroom is comprehensive, challenging and diverse. The environment is designed to allow the children to explore and develop concentration and coordination.
Children need to be able to explore and discover their surroundings as they are in the period of the ‘absorbent mind’. These children are curious about everything, as they are attracted to everything that stimulates their senses, which they are learning about through their surroundings.
Casa (2 1/2 – 5 Yrs)
The Casa classroom invites exactness, precision and an aesthetically pleasing environment in which the children learn to respect one another and the materials around them. The materials are purposeful, clean, neat and complete.
A Montessori environment is prepared for children from the age of 2 ½ to six years, together in one class, with materials appropriate for each level. The Casa classroom ratio is 8 children to 1 teacher. Children accomplish their goals and work independently by gaining confidence and practice in a particular skill. This classroom focuses on all five areas of the classroom: Practical Life, Sensorial, Math, Language and Cultural.
