Summersun Montessori

 

 

Primary Curriculum

Dr. Maria Montessori believed that no human being is educated by another person. He or she must do it by him or herself or it will never be done. In the Montessori classroom the child is allowed to experience the excitement of learning by his or her own choice. Children’s lessons will be given with materials of:

  • Practical Life Exercises - Exercises that teach basic skills in care of self and care of the environment, and which, at the same time, help develop the child’s fine motor skills and sense of discrimination.
  • Sensorial Exercises - Offers children a chance to increase their awareness of sounds, sights, colors, shapes, tastes, smells, and textures of their world.
  • Mathematics- As children interact with the concrete and manipulative they discover the meaning of quantity and gain an overview of the number system.
  • Language- Activities will include language awareness, vocabulary development and an introduction to writing and reading.
  • Physical Geography - Materials are used to introduce geographical information.
  • Cultural Awareness - Children gain awareness of the world around them by exploring other countries, their customs, foods, music, climate, language, and animals. This helps to raise their consciousness about other people, to gain an understanding and tolerance and, in turn, compassion for all the people in the world.
  • Arts and Crafts
  • Music and Creative Movement
  • Science and Nature - In science the children’s natural curiosity is stimulated through discovery projects and experiments. The plant and animal kingdoms are studied to foster a love and appreciation for all living things.

Maria Montessori“And so we discovered that education is not something which the teacher does, but that it is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being.”

The Summersun Legacy

My son Matthew started at Summersun when he was 21 months old.  Matthew and I immediately felt the support of the Summersun family as he was nurtured, cared-for, and loved by the staff and the other children at Summersun.  He started as a toddler with limited speech and a strong attachment to mom, and he is now an independent four-year old with a passion for math, reading, and art.  He has developed wonderful friendships, strong bonds with his teachers, a love for learning, and a significant sense of self.
