Preschool & Kindergarten
Bare Foot Montessori Preschool and Kindergarten Ages 3-6
Based on the philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori, the teachers carefully prepare the school and guide the children in their daily learning.
Children learn best in an atmosphere which values the uniqueness of the individual. Therefore, the role of the teacher is to identify and meet the needs of the individual child through planned and spontaneous experiences.
With a student/teacher ratio of 8/1, each classroom has skilled teachers to guide the children through the day’s activities.
The curriculum includes a variety of Montessori methods of learning designed to provide children with an unlimited scope for exploration in each of the following areas of learning.
Sensorial
The Sensorial area is designed to educate and refine the child’s senses. The primary purpose of sensorial materials is to help the child train himself to observe, to make comparisons between objects, to form judgments, to reason and to decide.
Working in the sensorial area helps the child develop organization and patterning skills which are important for reading and math.
Practical Life
The Practical Life area helps develop coordination, concentration, order, and personal independence. The exercises of Practical Life have objects and materials normally encountered in everyday living experiences such as cleaning, pouring, dressing and polishing. Many are fundamental exercises that the child needs to master to be able to live comfortably in the real adult world.
Math
The Math area includes “Hands-on” material which is inviting and gives a sense of order. Math materials develop logically from concrete to abstract and simple to complex. Our Math curriculum starts with number recognition 1-10 and continues through learning place value, addition, subtraction, and multiplication
Language and Reading
The Language/Reading area includes the development of listening skills and vocabulary, writing, using metal insets, sandpaper letters, and the chalkboard. Our reading program begins with letter sounds and phonetic blending. By third year, the students are beginning sight words and grammar lessons.
