Montessori New Beginnings

Specialties

Our Programs:

Toddler (ages 18 months to 3 years)

Provides an environment that addresses the unique needs of the toddler.

Offers a low student-​teacher ratio combined with a small group size to allow more interaction between the child and the adult.

Guides the child in developing confidence in environments outside the home.

Focuses on development of physical movement and language, areas in which toddlers experience dramatic growth

Early Childhood & Kindergarten (ages 3 – 6)

Promotes mastery of self and environment, self discipline and social competence.

Emphasis on the process rather than the product of learning.

Allows students to work at their own pace, with the teacher introducing new materials only as the current materials are mastered, to ensure success rather than failure.

Explores math, language, geography, science, art and music, involving children in a series of sequential, manipulative, and sensorial activities that lead them from concrete to abstract learning.
