| Primary Class |
| In the Primary Class, preschool and kindergarten children find a learner's paradise of intriguing educational activities and opportunities for healthy social growth. The teachers use Montessori materials plus many of their own innovations to create a prepared environment that gives children choices and at the same time leads them to develop essential skills and master important concepts. Activities build concentration and coordination, encourage creative exploration and provide a strong foundation for problem solving, reading, writing and math. They are designed to promote independence, stimulate social interaction and develop strong language skills. The children receive frequent one-on-one instruction in addition to large and small group sessions. The 5-hour school day affords plenty of time for outdoor learning and cooperative play. Enrollment options include 2, 3 or 5 days per week. The class also works daily with Juanita Ramsey-Jevne, the arts, music and horse-riding specialist. With her many years of early childhood education experience, Juanita knows just how to teach children basic skills and inspire them in a deep love of art and music. A particular strength of the Primary Class is the kindergarten program. Over the past 100 years, the Montessori Method has proved extremely effective at teaching children beginning reading, writing and math. The approach starts with the true "basics", the sensorial and perceptual skills children need to master printed numbers, letters and words. Instruction in individual, so the learner is always challenged but never frustrated. |
