What Do Montessori Schools Teach?
Children in the LIttleton Montessori preschool program possess what Dr. Montessori called the ability to absorb all aspects of one’s culture and environment without effort or fatigue.
These young children are exposed to various lessons found in six main areas of the classroom: Practical Life, Sensorial, Language Arts, Culture, Math, and Art
The Six Areas of Montessori Curriculum
As an aid to this period of the child’s self-construction, individual work is encouraged. The following areas of activity cultivate the children’s adaptation and ability to express and think with clarity
Practical Life
Practical Life activities help children care for themselves, others, and their environment.
Sensorial
Sensorial materials help children refine and organize their senses.
Language Arts
The Montessori environment is rich in oral language opportunities, allowing the child to experience conversations, stories and poetry
Cultural Studies
Geography, Biology, Botany, Zoology, and History are presented as extensions of the sensorial and language activities.
Math
Mathematics activities motivate children to learn and understand the concepts of math by manipulating concrete materials.
Practical LIfe
Art at Littleon Montessori School Encourages children to constantly discover and explore the beauty of their world
An Alternative to Traditional Preschool
Montessori education allows children to move at their own pace within a calm, well-prepared classroom setting.
Teachers observe closely and introduce lessons when a child shows readiness, supporting concentration, independence, and deep understanding rather than memorization.
