Creekside Montessori Preschool
Provides a peaceful and safe learning environment that develops the “Whole Child.”
Through the Montessori Curriculum, Monthly Unit Studies, Music Appreciation and Outside Classroom, your child will be learning throughout the "Whole Day!"
This is the key to the development of the “Whole Child.”
Montessori Method
Language
Throughout the entire Montessori environment, the child hears and is encouraged to use precise vocabulary. The language materials first introduce the child to the marvelous twenty-six letters of the alphabet and their phonetic sounds, which later enables the child to begin building words, sentences and whole stories using the moveable alphabet.
Math
The young child naturally has a mathematical mind. They have the capacity to reason, to calculate, and to estimate. The Mathematics materials asset the child in developing their mathematical skills.
Practical Life
Practical Life materials
and exercises develop coordination, concentration, organization, and independence while achieving skills to care for themselves and the environment
Sensorial
The Sensorial materials provide a range of activities and exercises for the child to explore. The Montessori materials help the child in learning to differentiate between sizes, shapes, sounds, colors, textures, and taste
Cultural Studies
Through Monthly Unit Studies, taught in a “traditional structured group setting”, your child will be introduced to the study of Science, History, Geography, Art, and Music. Each month your child’s classroom will Explore, Discover, and Learn about different Unit Studies, such as: Life Cycles, Plant Life, our World, the Solar System, the Five Food Groups, our Five Senses, Dental Hygiene, the Heart, Cultural Traditions, celebration of Holidays, and many more!
Outside Classroom
Your child will experience the “Wonders of the Outdoors” in our park-like, secure, and well maintained playgrounds. The playgrounds are equipped with age appropriate playground equipment. There are large grass areas and several shade structures — a perfect setting for outdoor learning!
Play is an active form of learning that unites the mind, body, and spirit. Children’s learning occurs best when the whole-self is involved. Children become interested in learning when they learn through play. While playing with their classmates, they will begin to develop critical social and behavioral skills, which can translate into social confidence. It is proven that exercise is vital in order to maintain a healthy body and mind. Through outdoor play, the children can accomplish the exercise their bodies require for healthy living. Outdoor play builds coordination and enhances the development of Large Motor Skills. These activities have minimal structure; however, the children are encouraged to explore, participate, and play, both individually and together. Every aspect of a child’s life in interwoven with play. This is the nature of the child!
