Children's House
Children aged three to five are sensorial explorers that are constantly building their knowledge of the world by absorbing every aspect of their environment, language, and culture. Our program caters to the specific needs of this age group by fulfilling their innate desire to learn through direct sensory experiences with self-teaching materials. Our Montessori curriculum covers the five key areas of learning which are practical life, sensorial, math, language, and cultural studies. These key areas play an important part in the daily activities of your child. In this age group, children choose their own tasks and work independently at their own pace, under the gentle guidance of a trained teacher. The focus of this program is to prepare children for school and help them to develop independence, a strong sense of self, self-motivation, and a love of learning.
Infants
In their classroom, your infant can safely explore the environment within the presence of our caring teachers. The classroom environment includes developmentally appropriate toys, furniture, and other materials used within the Montessori curriculum. At Bambini Montessori Academy we accommodate non-mobile and crawling infants in a peaceful and safe classroom environment. While safety is paramount, these Montessori-styled toys and furniture allow your infant the freedom to move and explore their environment. This begins to help develop their independence, even at their young age. The pace within the environment is unhurried and the children have the opportunity to be occupied, uninterrupted, with their activity.
