The secret of good teaching is to regard the children's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heart of
flaming imagination.
• Dr. Maria Montessori
Our curriculum include a variety of balanced activities that promote language, cognitive, social, emotional, and physical developments. Our high ratio of teachers to children enables us to form close relationships with children, plan exciting and meaningful curriculum, and truly support their learning. In addition to daily classroom activities, we also offer enrichment classes in music, dancing, drawing, Chinese (Mandarin) and Gong Fu (PreK). Our staff possess extensive experience in identifying and facilitating each child's unique learning style and needs, and prepare the environment/lesson plan to meet each child's needs.

Core Curriculum Areas
Practical life
Our curriculum is designed to invite our children to act and work on real life tasks that promote independence, coordination, order and concentration. It is, in a sense, the doorway to the Montessori curriculum. We carefully designed and demonstrated the material to help teach skills involved with caring for the environment and the self, to encourage responsibility, autonomy and to promote high self-esteem.
Sensorial
Sensorial is the base of all other areas of development. It is not only an aid to the development of maturing sense organs (eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin) but a starting point for the intellectual growth. We offer various job activates and help children to order, compare and classify sensory stimulation. These jobs inspire careful observation and call attention to specific qualities requiring identification of similarities and contrasts. The mind must judge, compare, classify and draw conclusions. These exercises tend to fascinate children because they are difficult enough to represent a real and meaningful challenge. They are then better prepared for future learning in math, language, and science and making sense of life's experiences and information in general.
Language
We implement a large variety of reading readiness materials, including materials for phonetic analysis, word attack skills and reading, as well as materials for the refinement of motor control for writing. Language development is a very important concern of the entire Montessori classroom. There are also additional activities that promote communication skills, writing and reading readiness and foster children' word bank.
Mathematics
The central purpose of the Math materials for preschoolers is to lay the foundation for later cognitive development and to prepare for the gradual transition to abstract thinking. Our children will work on hands on materials, our method will help them transform abstract concepts into connection, concrete concepts and therefore, understanding.
Science
Science is an integral element of the Montessori curriculum. Among other things, it represents a way of life: a clear thinking approach to gathering information and problem solving. The scope of our science curriculum includes introduction to botany, zoology, chemistry, physics, geology and astronomy. Our curriculum approaches to science cultivates children's fascination with the universe and helps them develop a lifelong interest in observing nature and discovering more about our living world.
