We serve children ages 18 months (toddler) through 6^th grade (elementary). Here at Arborland Montessori, we believe in developing your child's thinking skills, teaching your child how to learn, sparking your child's interests, and providing your child with applied learning experiences. We teach our children to be compassionate, responsible, respectful, and self-motivated.
Toddler Program: 18 months - 3 years old Arborland Montessori Children's Academy uses nurturing love and continuous interaction with others to support the growth and development of the toddler.
Primary Program: 2 1/2 - 6 years old Dr. Montessori felt, therefore, that the goal of early childhood education should not be to fill the child with facts for a preselected course of study, but rather to cultivate the child's own natural desire to learn. In the Montessori classroom, the objective is approached by allowing each child to experience the excitement of learning by his/her own choice rather than by being forced. It is also approached by helping the child perfect his/her natural tools for learning, so that the child's abilities will be maximized for future learning situations. Montessori materials have this dual, long-range purpose in addition to their immediate purpose of giving specific information to the child.
Elementary Program: 6 - 12 years old Montessori education at the elementary level continues on with many of the same principles used in primary. We go from the simple to the complex and from the concrete to the symbolic to the abstract. Children exercise freedom in choosing work and with whom they will work. The teacher limits the freedom when necessary in respect to the rights of others. Children learn to maintain this balance between liberty and limits. Elementary education integrates all subject areas. Each area relates to the child's life, other human lives throughout time, the universe and its source. Children get more motivated to learn about any subject when they can see how it relates to bigger questions that begin to enter their minds at the elementary level. Why am I here? Who is God? What is the purpose of life? The child in the elementary level looks for underlying causes and explanations. He/she wants to know why and how with regards to everything.
