CLASSROOM AREAS

language excercises

Our Spanish immersion program prepare children for reading with a multi-sensory approach including phonics and language experiences. Children learn oral language naturally – they absorb what is spoken in their environment. Her experiences in practical life and sensorial education serve as preparation to acquire language naturally, The sandpaper letters provide a phonetic basis for reading. The language materials are carefully sequenced so that the child gains a gradually increasing awareness of the rules of phonics.

creative/imaginative playtime

An atmosphere of work permeates the room when children are busy at free play. Play is the work of the child. They are learning to develop a rich imagination, which will serve their reading comprehension as they take words on the page and transform them into narrative memory. They are also learning to compromise with their peers, communicate their desires, carry tasks to completion, and problem-solve with others. These are some of the last years for them to really hone these essential skills, which will deepen and guide their academic lives throughout grade school.

edible garden and nature

Through our gardening curriculum, we learn about seasons, which vegetables and fruits grow better at different times of the year, and then they get to experience new flavors and tastes when they try the food from their own harvest making this a full sensory experience.

The outdoor environment works hand in hand with the indoor environment through gardening, life cycles, and classification of plants and animals. These activities help children draw their own conclusions and put an emphasis on love, appreciation, and respect for all living things.

arts and crafts

Art allows children to express themselves in a creative way exploring new textures, colors, and artistic techniques. Chiquitos experience a wide range of expressive and sensory media such as sand, water, clay, tempra paints, watercolors, collage, and more.

sensorial exercises

These activities are designed to support the development of all five senses. All information young children take in goes through their senses. By refining their senses, we are helping them achieve more detailed forms of classification in their brains. Each of the sensorial materials isolates one defining quality such as color, weight, shape, texture, or size. Sensory materials help the child to distinguish, to categorize, and to relate to new information they already know.

math and science

Through the use of manipulatives, games, projects, and experiments, children learn basic principles of math and the scientific process. In science, the child’s natural curiosity is stimulated through discovery projects, experiments, and exploration of our outdoor environment. Learning these concepts will help prepare them to think critically and logically for our future world problems. Your preschooler will learn how to count, find and form shapes and patterns, measure, and sorts, categorizes, and compares objects, and interacts with and learns about nature.

dance and yoga

Movement is another creative expression where students are encouraged to use their imagination and develop coordination. Through dance, we introduce students to different cultures, music, and traditions. Through yoga, children learn mindfulness and meditation which is key to a child’s emotional regulation.

music

Music has been shown to be one of the most effective ways to acquire a second language naturally. Children tend to be attracted to different sounds, rhythms, and musical instruments. By playing these instruments and following rhythms, children develop their minds, language, and body together.

Through sing-alongs, repetition, and musical storytelling, children are prompted by the teacher to speak about the stories being told through songs. Children learn the traditional, classic, and heartfelt songs that have been passed down from generation to generation throughout Latino America and Spain.

practical life and social-emotional learning

As preschoolers interact with each other, learning to share, take turns, and work together, they begin to build their social skills and learn how to be successful students and individuals. We promote independence while also working in groups. The materials used give the child opportunities to care for themselves as well as their environment around them. The purpose of these activities is to aid in discipline, organization, independence, and self-esteem through concentration on a precise and completed cycle of work. Practical life exercises are the fundamental building blocks for the construction of the Montessori curriculum. All the practice of these life lessons fall into the following categories: care of person, care of the environment, fine motor development, gross motor skills, and grace and courtesy.
