Follow the Child Approach
In our Primary classroom, children choose carefully designed, self-correcting materials that help them develop concentration, coordination, and independence through sequenced activities. This process of choice, practice, and creative engagement fosters healthy development based on the child’s interests, meeting the needs and abilities of the whole child.
The children learn to read and write with a variety of Montessori-based, phonetic, and whole language materials. For math, the Montessori method of manipulation of concrete and symbolic materials with built-in control of errors leads the children towards abstraction in their studies of the four operations and memorization of basic Math facts.
