PRIMARY CLASSROOM:
3 YEARS - 6 YEARS
A Love of Learning Starts Here. That is why the Montessori Primary Program is an opportunity to nurture your child’s individual development within the context of a group setting. Without a doubt, your child will emerge with a set of new skills – social, emotional, and academic – while, more importantly, knowing how to function within a group. Our Primary Classroom ranges between the ages of 3 and 6 years old.
Your child has extraordinary powers of mind. He, or she, possesses a once-in-a-lifetime ability to absorb information and concepts from her surroundings, like a sponge. As a result, the structure of the primary classroom meets all their needs. Therefore, Discover New Horizons Montessori focuses on the five main areas of learning in a Montessori style setting: Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Mathematics, and Culture. Her experience in the classroom affects not only the amount of knowledge and skill she will have at her command. It will also, more importantly, affect her attitudes toward herself, her world, and learning.

OUR CLASSROOM
Maria Montessori indicates that the hands are the chief teacher of the child. All concepts introduced are using concrete materials, with hands-on exercises. In Montessori education, we place a high value on the senses. Discover New Horizons Montessori understands how the training and the refinement of the human senses give the child a strong basis for learning. We also allow for the role of esthetics in the development of the whole child. The classrooms are beautifully arranged, with plants and flowers; a clean environment invites the child to discover a new world within all the senses and where the child in the room works at his own pace. It is an eye-opener for the parents to see how eagerly the children work in this free environment.
- It’s a mixed-age class.
- The children are very independent.
- The learning takes place through the child’s activity.
- The classroom is child-centered, not teacher-centered.
- The curriculum is highly individualized.
A wide variety of beautiful, hands-on learning materials helps children learn. However, while most mornings and afternoons are involved in self-directed activity, there are also times in the day for group activities and play. With this in mind, your child will stay in the Primary classroom for three years, including the traditional “kindergarten year.” Everything comes to fruition for your child during this third year (the traditional kindergarten year). As a result, seeds that are sown in the previous two years soon blossom into a lifetime of reading, writing, and mathematical understanding. In short, the child leaves the program with a set of academic skills; but, far more importantly, with the attitude that learning is fun, exciting, and boundless.
