Steps To Learning Montessori Preschool

At Steps to Learning Montessori School, we are dedicated to providing an exceptional early childhood education and quality childcare experience for children from the age of 2 to 6. Our mission is to empower children with self-confidence, self-respect, and respect for their surroundings and others. We believe that learning begins at birth and continues throughout a child's life. Our goal is to create a nurturing environment that fosters curiosity, creativity, and a love for learning.

Our Approach

We follow the Montessori Method of Education, a child-centered approach developed by Dr. Maria Montessori. Our experienced and qualified staff are trained in the careful observation of children, allowing them to create an environment that meets the unique needs and interests of each child. We believe that children are inherently curious and will seek out new experiences within their environment. Therefore, we provide a prepared environment that is designed to engage and challenge children, while also providing structure and guidance.

Our Programs

Our programs are designed to cater to children's unique needs and interests, promoting social, emotional, and cognitive development. Our comprehensive curriculum includes:

• Math & Language: Focuses on building a strong academic foundation through activities such as number and letter recognition, quantities, letter-sound pairs, and phonetic spelling and name writing.
• Sensorial: Builds strong fine-motor skills through activities such as pouring, sweeping, and beading.
• Practical Life: Teaches daily tasks and routines that build self-care and community-care skills, including cooking, cleaning, and gardening.
• Cultural: Encourages self-expression through music, movement, and art, as well as awareness of our environment through scientific exploration.

Our Facilities

Our school is equipped with four classrooms (toddler, preschool, infant, and multi-purpose room) and an outdoor playground/classroom for both infant and preschool programs. Each classroom is designed to provide a child-centered learning environment, with materials and activities that cater to the unique needs and interests of our students.

Our Staff

Our staff is composed of highly qualified and trained professionals who are dedicated to providing exceptional care and education to our students. Our teachers are trained in the Montessori Method and are experienced in working with children from the age of 2 to 6.
