Students at A Child's Garden Montessori immerse themselves in learning through hands-on exercises, known as "work." The teacher, or "guide," briefly demonstrates the work - sparking the child's curiosity and desire to experience more of the lesson. Works are chosen for each child based upon their development, aptitudes and interests.
- THE TEACHERS
- BEGINNER (ages 18 months to 3)
- PRE-PRIMARY (ages 3-5)
- EXTENDED DAY
Each classroom has at least
one certified Montessori teacher and one or two assistants. Each teacher
brings a unique talent set, including Spanish, American Sign Language,
computer science, health, physical education and fine arts. Guest speakers and events are frequently integrated
into the day, further expanding the knowledge and experience for the children.
The teacher's goal is to stimulate
the child's spirit and imagination, support the child's self-esteem and
natural desire for autonomy, foster the development of ethical characteristics
including kindness, respect, and self-discipline, and guide the child
to learn how to observe, question, and explore ideas independently

BEGINNER Concentrating on Practical Life and Sensorial exercises, the curriculum meets the needs of this age in a smaller classroom with 10 to 12 students. Pre-Language and Pre-Math materials are included for students as they progress. These young students have a keen sense of order and very early learn the process of choosing their "work," repeating the exercises, and returning it to its proper place. At this age the children expect a daily routine, and the Montessori environment aids in their feeling of security and accomplishment.
