AUTHENTIC MONTESSORI CURRICULUM
Our program follows authentic Montessori curriculum that addresses the full development of the child. Our classrooms are organized with authentic Montessori materials and activities that support all five areas of the Montessori curriculum. Our curriculum, classrooms, staff qualifications, and teaching standards meet Montessori requirements.
Our Casa program offers full-day, half-day and extended half-day options. Since children are more focused in the mornings, as per Montessori guidelines, our Casa program incorporates a three-hour uninterrupted work cycle in the mornings. We highly recommend that children over the age of 4 attend our full-day program to gain the full benefit of the Montessori education.

WALKING TRIPS AROUND THE SCHOOL
These walking trips around the school are carried out as part of our normal school day activities, often in small groups to the nearby parks, Lake Wilcox Fish & Wildlife Refuge, sports arena, the local bank, the post office, and other local businesses.
When visiting a store, bank, or post office, children are encouraged to ask questions about their functions, converse with the sales clerk, deal with cash to pay at the check-out, etc. If visiting a park, children are allowed to explore nature and engage in meaningful discussions that expand their general knowledge.
The right mix of the Montessori curriculum and these field trips allow us to cultivate a keen interest in learning while providing opportunities for our children to expand their general knowledge and social skills.
