Montessori Curriculum

 

The Montessori curriculum consists of practical life, sensorial, mathematics, and language arts.  The materials in each of these curriculum areas reinforce the underlying objective of concentration, order, coordination and independence.

Both the curriculum and the objectives guide the child towards knowledge of self and of the world.  Through the understanding of how to resolve the often competing needs of both self/other and self/world, the child sustains equilibrium and peace.  The classroom environment provides the structure for resolving the needs of the self and others in the form of ground rules.
